Legal Question in Criminal Law in Mississippi

We have been charged by our neighbor with criminal contempt for "walking" on our easement. Our neighbor states he will only allow us ingress and egress in an automobile. Our Right of Way/Easement states we have a 20' non-exclusive easement on, over or above for ingress and egress. Why are we being charged with a "criminal offense"?

UNLESS THE LEGAL PAPERWORK STATES THAT THE EASEMENT IS LIMITED TO MOTOR VEHICLE TRAFFIC, YOU SHOULD TELL HIM TO FORGET IT AND IMMEDIATELY HIRE A COMPETENT CRIMINAL ATTORNEY TO DEFEND. ONCE YOU SUCCEED IN THE DEFENSE YOU CAN FILE SUIT FOR FALSE ARREST FOR THE FALSE TRESPASSING ARREST
