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

Virgil what do you have to do right now

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
administrator of the police I said hey
