Permalinkattempting to move back into her home, which was being occupied by an
alleged squatter.
'I spent the night on a mat on a concrete floor in deplorable conditions.
While this woman, this squatter slept in my home,' Loletha Hale told WSB-
TV Atlanta.
On December 9, Clayton County police and Sheriff's deputies were called to
the home on Livingston Drive after Hale tried to regain access.
A deputy, captured on body camera footage, advised Hale to consider the
alleged squatter's perspective.
'Just think of it from this perspective, though. Everybody isn't as
fortunate as you to have a bed. All the little things, a bed in their
house, food in the kitchen,' the deputy said.
The dispute began in August when Hale discovered the alleged squatter,
Sakemeyia Johnson, in the home and contacted police.
Authorities cited Johnson under Georgia's new Squatter Reform Act.
However, Clayton County Magistrate Court Judge Latrevia Lates-Johnson
ruled that Johnson wasn't a squatter, as she was related to a previously
evicted tenant's partner.
'How can she not be squatting when I've never had any type of contract
relationship with this person?' Hale said.
In bodycam footage from the December 9 incident, Johnson explained to
officers, 'I was written a citation saying I was a squatter. But a judge
signed an order saying that I wasn't a squatter.'
This led to a prolonged legal battle, with multiple filings, hearings and
even Johnson filing for bankruptcy, naming Hale as her sole creditor.
On November 18, a magistrate judge ruled in Hale's favor. Hale believed
Johnson had vacated the property and returned to begin cleaning up.
However, when she arrived on December 9, she found the locks had been
changed and Johnson was still there.
'I returned on Monday to start painting and she had broken the locks at my
property,' Hale explained.
'She just caught up out of nowhere. She had this guy with him, and I
locked the door. I locked the screen door, and he forced himself in
telling us to get out,' Johnson told police.
Johnson, in the report, described how Hale and a man showed up and locked
the door. She added that the man forcibly entered and demanded they leave.
Officers confirmed Hale hadn't obtained the proper legal document, a
signed writ of possession, to evict Johnson.
Hale admits she had been waiting weeks for the writ, explaining her
frustration: 'To see that woman walk into my mom's house while I was in
the police car, something is wrong with this picture. Something is
inherently wrong with this picture.'
The alleged squatter, Johnson, has not been charged with any crime.
Meanwhile, Hale was charged with criminal trespassing and a misdemeanor
count of terroristic threats.

forward to America being great again.
The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
eradicated.
We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
