Squatter arrested after occupying home of Army officer.

A squatter who had taken over the home of an active-duty Army officer has been evicted and arrested after a Channel 2 Action News investigation. Normally, homeowners are told they must take the squatter to court and go through a judicial eviction process, which can take months. However, the Dekalb County Sheriff’s office contacted the Army officer and said they will circumvent that process with something called an intruder affidavit. The alleged squatter had only been in the home since the beginning of May, but truckloads of things were pulled out of the home, including a gun safe and 2 dogs.
