A man is accused of repeatedly squatting in the same home, leading police to increase patrols to address the issue.
Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell went out to a home on Old Spring Road when the accused squatter showed up.
She saw a car parked in the driveway and the man standing near the trunk.
According to Newell, the man claimed he was there to get his belongings and said he had been renting the house for a few months.
However, when she questioned him about the criminal charges he faced, he quickly left.
“You want to share your side of the story?” Newell asked during the confrontation.
The man, identified as Andres Fernandez Lagunes, then got into a car with someone and drove away.
Police have issued multiple arrest warrants for Lagunes, who is accused of squatting in three different incidents.
To ensure Lagunes didn’t return, police began patrolling the house.
