Army officer says squatter moved into her DeKalb home while she was on duty, now she can’t evict him

A U.S. Army officer says a squatter moved into her DeKalb County home while she was serving on active duty, and now she can’t have him evicted.

She told Channel 2 Consumer Investigator Justin Gray that she found out when her real estate agent was making final preparations to sell the house.

“He’s not a tenant. He’s a squatter,” Lt. Colonel Dahlia Daure said.

There are ‘beware of dog’ signs in some windows and cardboard covering others at her Ellenwood home in DeKalb County.

Daure says someone she’s never met moved in without her knowledge or permission, and now won’t leave.

“I was beside myself and I felt violated. Had I not been serving my country, I would have been in my home,” Daure told Gray.

Daure is full-time active-duty command staff with the U.S. Army Reserves and is stationed in Chicago.

She was renting out her metro Atlanta home, but after a $35,000 renovation, she put it up for sale.

“I got a cash offer. It was under contract,” she said.

That’s when Daure says Vincent Simon apparently moved in. Simon claimed he had a lease and that he’d paid $19,000 upfront for six months.

“The police call the number that’s on the lease. It doesn’t exist,” Daure said.

Daure went to the police and was told it was a civil matter.

This week she served Simon with eviction papers, but he has a right to respond and have the case heard by a judge.

Here’s how you handle it. You kick his ass out physically dragging him out. Then make him sue to get back in.

I am curious about these “squatters” , are they paying the utilities, the water, the sewage, etc ? If not, that’s just more the reason, gtfo.

What a perfect metaphor for the consequences of left-wing leadership.

If you are going to be out of your house for longer then a week get a house sitter. Make sure you have a contract with them that covering the basics. But get a house sitter.

It may cost you a bit up front but it keeps you from a lot of headaches.

BULLS%IT, This and these cases are NOT CIVIL MATTERS, It is Grand Theft, Conversion, FRAUD. They need to be Immediately Arrested in all cases and face 10-20 for their Crimes.

They have Bandidos in Atlanta? I thought Atlanta was Outlaws.

If you are an honest citizen:

The police are not on your side.

The prosecutors are not on your side.

The judges are not on your side.

The slip-n-fall lawyers are not on your side.

We the People must protect each other.

These are the people pickup trucks, tarps and dark mountain roads are made for. I wouldn’t give a second thought in losing a loser like this. Getting it in the truck bed unconscious is the biggest problem.

Isn’t it also trespassing and breaking and entering?
