Police no help in removing squatters, sex offender allowed to stay | FOX 5 News
By Dana Fowle
Aired November 1, 2023
TUCKER, Ga. - Much has been made over the years of squatters' rights. "Squatting" is when someone lives in a home, likely rent-free, and has to be kicked out by the courts. Well, here's a case with a street-side view into one of the most bizarre cases of trying to evict someone you may ever see.
This story involves a legitimate homeowner, a home for sale, and a convicted child sex trafficker. Guess who has the upper hand? It’s the kind of tale that makes homeowners and landlords confused about whose side the law is on.
Meet Ronan McCabe.
"This is my home. And there's somebody in there, an intruder in there, intruders, who I do not know," he said.
FOX 5 I-Team reporter Dana Fowle stood with him at the edge of his wooded corner lot in Tucker. The home was posted as plain as day online for sale, not for rent. On closing day, homeowner Ronan McCabe discovered people - strangers - had moved in and changed the locks.
"They broke into my house and moved in. All the locks had been changed," he told FOX 5.
Just four days before, McCabe called Gwinnett County police. The home had been empty for just a few weeks before it was filled with the strangers' furniture. He says the couple inside told police they had a lease.
"They have no contract, no agreement, with me," he assured FOX 5 and law enforcement. "Gwinnett County police are saying there is nothing they can do."
This was a Friday. He was told to go to the magistrate court the following Monday and file a dispossessory notice, which meant going through a lengthy evictions process in a backed-up court system to get his home back.
Just a day earlier, that man in the house, calling himself "Raymond Cortez," sent McCabe a text saying he would leave, for a price.
"Dana, that's a shakedown. That's a shakedown. You kidding me? They want me to pay them to leave my home. That's scandalous."
Frustrated and distressed as he now had his house sale on hold, Ronan McCabe called the FOX 5 I-Team. FOX 5 met him at the house, triggering the "Raymond" to text him again.
McCabe read the text out loud: "I’m calling the cops. I’m with my attorney drawing up a lawsuit."
The house squatter told police earlier that he was a member of the "Sovereign Citizens Movement." They don’t believe in government, identification, taxes - things like that. Ironically, he didn’t mind calling the authorities to help him stay in a home he doesn’t own.
The Gwinnett County Police Department arrived for the third time in five days. But this trip was different. Things had changed, very quickly.
A woman who told police she was the man's wife abruptly left. The man calling himself Raymond came out, went back in, then suddenly U.S. Marshals started flooding the street. It seems they had a parallel investigation.
"Raymond Cortez" was really Ramon Fuertes III, and he was a wanted man.
After busting down the door and sliding him across a floor covered in water and soap - meant to trip up police - they had him. Police and court documents show Fuertes is a convicted federal felon. He had been in federal prison for child sex trafficking, accused of prostituting a young teen he called "Lollipop."
Fuertes was wanted for failing to register as sex offender after his release.
Finally over, right? Nope. The female was back in the home. She hadn't been arrested for anything.
After the homeowner, Ronan McCabe, told an officer he wanted her out, the officer said, "You can ask, but it might not pan out."
The homeowner could be right back where he started; she would need to be evicted.
But finally, Ronan McCabe got a break.
This time, officers told her if she couldn't provide proof she was a legitimate tenent, she could be charged with criminal trespass if she didn't leave.
She left. But, she was never charged with moving into a stranger's home and refusing to leave. In fact, she was given several hours to gather her things.
The house was ultimately sold a few days later.
McCabe, an Irishman, has been in the United States since the 90s. He's a US citizen. He will tell you he loves this country, but finds the rights of squatters simply baffling.
"America is a fantastic country, and I never ever thought something like this would happen in America. A man's home is his castle," he said.
How you can protect your home from squatters
If you have a house for sale or for rent, make sure it is lived in or at least looks lived in:
- Fill it with furniture.
- Keep a car in the driveway.
- Go by regularly to make sure the "for sale" or "for rent" sign is still in the yard. They're often
removed very quickly by people planning to overtake your home.
- Go inside and check on the home.
A key takeaway is not to put up a sign, move out, and not return for weeks. You just might find a surprise.

Squatters rights are ridiculous. They don't pay. They don't have a tenancy/lease. They break in. They change the locks. They can cause damage. They get away with theft. Squatters shouldn't have rights to someone else's home. The fact that the home owner has to get court orders and eviction notices to get them out is pathetic. It's the same in England. Well, if they can break into my home, I will also break into my home, and I will claim self-defence when a fight breaks out. "I was in the bathroom when I heard glass smash. I thought it was outside until I heard voices coming from the living room. I was just protecting myself, Officer."

Cops are useless. They only trespass people if they're filming on public property or waiting for their girlfriend to finish getting her nails done.
So I know the loophole to the squatter loophole. Go ahead and write a rental agreement to a family member and when you see squatters, and the police show up, just show the rental agreement to police and they will get kicked the squatters out immediately as it's already "rented" to someone -which means they are trespassing even if they show a fake rental paper. By the eyes of the law, the person who is legit renting has the rights to occupancy aka the family member you rented to. Even if they show a doctored up paper, you would have one (as the him owner) to rent to said family member so they will have no grounds to be there. In fact, "claim" all the stuff inside it yours and take all their stuff once they get booted out.

You should just change the locks and then wait inside with ownership paperwork prepared while they're away. Preferably with some tough guys for your safety. Rental agreement for someone staying inside can be a bonus. If you call the police first, you lost the chance doing so, as squatters will be officially established as rightfully staying in place.
People are going to start going back to the old ways pretty soon. This is ridiculous.
Trespassing and breaking and entering are against the law. Why is this even an issue?

Except the fact people either rent houses then decide to sell without telling the tenants and potential buyers that they rent the house or that the tenant will be out before closing when not true or the new owner just want to kick out the tenant right away and the current tenant is screwed. Or the old owner wants to make a quick few scam bucks and rents right before closing. To the police it is very hard to tell if it is a legitimate tenant getting screwed by the new owner or a squatter.

That squatters have rights means that somewhere either at the city or county or state level there are laws that have been established giving them rights. duh.

The headline is misleading. The sex offender wasn't "allowed" to stay. The cops just didn't know he was a sex offender at the time. As soon as they found out, they came in guns blazing to pull him out for failure to report. That's the only reason he's out of the house now. If he weren't a sex offender registrant, or if he had registered that address, he'd still be there now. And THAT is the shame in all this.

Correct. Non revenue arrests are frowned upon. Only arrest people with a checking account. No one else has to follow the rules.
Interesting. As someone who used to rent properties for a variety of owners, you should see the immoral things they do to renters to get back at them for requesting repairs or calling to render a promised service. Some homeowners will be vindictive and sabatage the history of an honest renter which sometimes leads to squatters. So the problem is twofold whether we accept it or not. We need to find a way to interrupt the rights of squatters but we also need someone to regulate the treatment of tenants that are rightfully in a lease that are retaliated against for putting pressure on landlords to fulfill their promises.

I had something similar happen to me in Pittsburg kansas. where me and my 8 year old son came home to the house we owned free and clear. a man broke in and changed the locks and pittsburg police arrested me instead and then repeatedly told me that the house was his and that i needed therapy. Rick smith my attorney said i would have to evict him the man stayed in my house for a year and then rented it out. the man sold all my things. I didnt know weather to pay my insurance or anything. the man was also driving my car
Funny how a house in the Hollywood hills had squatters and were trespassed immediately
Who gave squatters rights?
