Virgil what you have to do right now is get your stuff and get off this property okay and if you come back your subjects are being charged with trespassing okay escorted me over here to open my door sir but I was escorted by a police officer please check I'm not breaking the law there's two witnesses right there all right [Music] the video for today is an epic two-day Adventure revolving around a condemned building and a landlord tenant dispute on December the 7th 2022 at approximately 11 A.M officers with the Columbus Division of police were dispatched on a call about a man with garden shears who was threatening construction workers while they tried to board up a vacant structure that had been condemned due to a fire they arrived on scene and found a man with six month old paperwork stating this was proof that he was a legal residence of this property okay then calm down and stop yelling I'm a tenant yeah I knew that right okay they tried to evict the other three tenants as you can see it was this it was dismissed notice of dismissal okay it never went through she moved to another apartment because the landlord keep harassing so we they can move another department away so all my stuff is in there they took my four thousand dollar bike in the backyard they tried to tear the locks off of it yesterday I said hey you're not allowed to touch tennis property if you know the law you have to have a court to have a sheriff and escort stuff out you cannot touch them I know but if a house is condemned it's a little bit no no upstairs oh the electric bill the water Builder guys will everything works it's in my name you know I'm saying everything I got current bills I just told the police that just left three police officers yeah yeah it's in my phone I got it all to my email I got all the current bills in my network notice of this notice for all the evictions this is eviction this is the company that owns it and look notice of dismissal filed on 6K status closed they're illegally doing that was in June yeah okay they've never got a big nobody got a dick okay nobody did that's what illegally trying to take the house that's what you're saying but I I not gonna take your word for it okay proof it's not proof that's something that's like several months old there's a lot of time this past from June to now when I understand it's condemned in all that um there's no signage on here usually the fire department puts a sign up that says it's condemned um I think it was code Code Enforcement where are those signs um I could I could find out for you okay because they took it down I haven't been on this property since it got burned down okay um we can only act on what we can prove but right now where we stand this is a syllabus room between you all correct um he's not going to stop uh he as far as our experience with the courts they're gonna probably say he has a stronger legal grounds than you do at this point um without Something official that you guys have in hand saying that there's not a lot to be anyone in here um we don't have anything to enforce got it okay I believe it was something posted yeah but we need to see it okay if we can't see it then we'd be violating his rights the best thing to do is get the fire emotional um without that I can't enforce anything I appreciate you guys you know what I mean um it's not about belief yeah I just uh you know he was threatening my guys he had cheers if it was a situation where let's pretend for a second he was completely in the right by being here if you if you try to force me out of my house I would threaten you with more than cheers you know what I mean so we have to there's without some proof we need to err inside of caution okay because it's I understand that's a very expensive lawsuit for the city okay okay thank you I would love to give you guys what you want no I appreciate it all right if you want we can stand by while you get tools all right well I'm bringing the code enforcement papers so that the fire department's okay here now yeah he said give him like 20 minutes he's coming from himself all right I'll be coming from our office like I said it's it's a dispute between what we know and what we can document Ary I showed him a copy of the bills there call AEP call and put it on speaker they're under our name no this is my name no they're on our name so you leave if we call ABP I'll have my sisters doing right now without telling you yeah let's call it because right here it says 19 South Wheatland and right here it says this structure has been declared unsafe not to be occupied prior to repairs okay okay listen listen to me for a moment they have permits that say this house is not to be occupied okay I just went I just read them with my own eyes I've seen the paperwork from the building inspector it's not from code enforcement it's from the actual building inspector he is saying that this place is not to be occupied there's not allowed to have anyone inside the lit the landlord is not allowed to let anyone in because he can face criminal charges for letting you in this house you are already in that you have to leave now you're officially on notice hold on so here's the thing I just told you it's not code enforcement it's building enforcement I saw the paperwork the house is condemned it's been deemed unsafe all right I'm not I'm not going to explain it again so here's the thing okay you have to go down to the court and you have to get basically a permission slip to come in and get your belongings I knew a thing or two about how long I'm trained Google it right now Virgil you have to put the product it's Virgil what you have to do right now is get your stuff to get off this property okay and if you come back your subjects are being charged with trespassing okay yeah you just lost you just lost your back my cousin's a commissioner good luck Bob now as seen in the previous clip the officers informed Virgil of the court orders and told him that he was subject to arrest if he returned the following day December the 8th 2022 at approximately 9 A.M the same officers were flagged down by the same construction workers who stated that Virgil broke into the house overnight by removing a board they had placed over the front door the officers eventually entered the house and placed Virgil under arrest for trespassing once released from jail Virgil filed an official Complaint with the Columbus Office of the Inspector General his accusations were one the officers forced their way into his home violating his fourth amendment rights two the officers threw his female companions against the wall and three the officers that slammed him into a cruiser the office of the Inspector General found no evidence to support Virgil's accusations but instead filed a separate accusation on behalf and sustained a complaint of conduct Unbecoming making statements that dishonor the division because the officers used profanity and called Virgil crazy multiple times during the encounter now you have the opportunity to review the same body worn camera footage and you can tell me in the comments below if you believe that the actions of the officer whose body camera you are watching bring dishonor to the division of police we'll go see if Virgil's inside man that's some real determination Virgil I am the police no you're lying you're full of [ __ ] open this door Virgil I'll talk to the minister the code enforcement I'll talk to the police Virgil opened the door right now Virgil opened the door right now Virgil opened the door I am the police I'm the one that told you to leave the door he came out where do you have open the door I will kick it in open the door officer Salvador [Applause] I am the department you got two trespassers in there open the door it's coming in open the door my man supervisor foreign officer open the door dude you're harassing me nope you're breaking the law no the fire department

open it officer caught the third cell I got permission from 10 officers on third shift 190 uh can anyone respond I'm the one that told you you're not allowed to be here I'm the one that read the permits not valid there was never a convention open the door the door open the door Virgil Virgil opened the door I am 9-1-1 and I already told them that you're calling open the door why would you lie because you're crazy open the door open the door open the door so Virgil what do you have to do right now is get your stuff and get off this property okay open it up if you come back and your subject would be in charge of trespassing okay yeah you just lost you just lost your bag I am the police open the door I am the police I already told him you were calling out let's go straighter the sheriff and the fire department came they said it was never because then most guys lied to you so this was this was legit for you to rip it open like this officer escorted yes yes no to watch America um we were flagged down by these guys as we were driving our last run and this guy came back last night ripped the uh board off the front door he's inside when we tried talking to him he started yelling at us from the inside saying he's not gonna come out um that's where we're at he's saying that the third shift officer is allowed him in last night it's so crazy I don't trust anything he says yeah and he was informed on body camera yesterday that he's not allowed to be here [Music] um I don't know if they're he's got something barricade in the door we can I don't think I don't know if they can get it off the hinges from the outside I'll be happy to ask him already started kicking it okay I'll see if they've got anything that'll help us out I'm just letting you know that on camera yeah yeah me too and it's it's a problem I guarantee he did talk to some other officers and they didn't know what was going on because it was third shift and there's no one to talk to that has these permits and stuff so he probably said this is my house I got bills they're like well if it's your house to go inside you know but he he had already been informed that he's not allowed to so I'll see if these guys have a saw they want to cut away the uh the deadbolt or what but if we can get them to do it before a ram gets here I'll go that route yep dinner roll did not come back on my own hey Virgil
