In a Facebook post, Cast revealed that people had sent her messages claiming that she faked the whole incident.
‘I read all your messages to me, even the private ones, I can tell you that this truly did happen and there is nothing fake about it.
‘I do not wish to speak to anyone, it doesn’t matter to me if it’s a journalist who wants to put it out on the news, I will not put my family in danger by exposing myself any more than what I have already, besides the media will just twist my words.
In a Facebook post, Cast (pictured) said: ‘If I need to do this again to protect my family and my neighbors, I will in a heartbeat do it again, except this time I will not be as nice as I was’

Cast continued: ‘Some of you still think we’re not being attacked. I found this individual walking in my property as I was driving in, all he had were some matches in his hand.
‘I walked him out of my property at gunpoint and then when we got to some asphalt ground on the main road [where I] made him lay down while the cops arrived.’
She said: ‘Had my husband been here he would have been dead. This criminal has got multiple warrants, one of them [for] assaulting a police officer.’
It’s unclear if local police have charged the man.
The incident comes as California, Oregon (pictured) and Washington state suffer from historic wildfires that have burned faster and farther than ever before
The fires have caused hazardous air quality conditions in Portland, Oregon, Seattle and San Francisco
The incident comes just days after a man was arrested Portland for allegedly using a Molotov cocktail to start a brush fire.
Domingo Lopez Jr, 45, was arrested on Sunday for allegedly starting the fire. He was released just hours before he is accused of starting six additional fires early Monday morning.
