Georgia man arrested after trying to get squatters, hooker, dogs out of his home—6 months later they are STILL there

According to WSB-TV, Arko's eviction order has been approved and he is waiting for the DeKalb marshal to schedule a time to force the squatters out. In the 6 months they have lived there two people have reportedly died from drug overdoses and code enforcement cited Arko for violations even though he is not legally allowed to enter the property.

Arko told the outlet that he showed up at the house a couple of days after his previous tenants had moved out when someone pointed a gun at him as he entered the driveway. "I just jumped the fence and ran. I didn’t know what else to do,” he said.

After he called the police Arko said, “They told the police that I was a home invader and that it was their home. And so I ended up being arrested and detained.” He added, “I didn’t walk in on a family eating dinner. I walked in on weapons, a prostitute, a bunch of dogs in the back, my fence broken down."

He noted that the system seems to favor the criminals in these situations. "I feel like it’s very heavily weighted towards these trespassers and criminals, not people that got duped,” Arko said.

His attorney John Ernst added, “No one likes, you know, being in the court system, but it becomes even worse when it seems broken down."

WSB-TV reporter Justin Gray visited the house and spoke to the person inside who claimed that he didn't break into the house and that he has a lease, but refused to show it to Gray.

In Georgia, squatters have rights under the adverse possession statute and are treated differently than trespassers. Adverse possession cases are considered civil matters for the courts to decide.

Marshals told Arkos that he should be able to evict the squatters from his home in September.
