2. If there is not a report, call the responding deputy and ask for one. If they won't, ask for any documentation they have showing you called and that a deputy was dispatched. If they ask why, just relate that you have some concerns that he might come back and want to make sure there's documentation to show it would be a continuing pattern of concerning behavior.
3. Write a 2nd letter to the paper. Explain that you want to make a correction...
Refer to your previous letter that did NOT name this guy. Then just lay out what happened:
Say you want to set the record straight. Dickhead, who you had not named, arrived uninvited at your residence to tell you he did NOT homeschool, but in fact spent $8k to send his child to PRIVATE school and he tried to show you his checkbook proving this. He also informed you he was going to sue you for implying he homeschooled, even though you had not mentioned his name. Say the encounter ended after you called the sheriff to have him leave your property. (This is why you want to see the police report so that any information you provide is supported by the report)
Just lay it out very matter of fact, unemotionally. Finish the letter by laying out again who you are supporting and why. Then maybe end with saying how much you're enjoying your new home surveillance cameras.
