Deputies Assist New Resident Clean Up Newly Purchased Home within Plantation Community.

A new resident recently purchased a renovated home on Meridian Rd within the Plantation Community. Unfortunately, a squatter had taken up residence in an old abandoned van on the property. He littered the area with garbage, old chairs, pillows, blankets, molding food and buckets of dirty water, all of which was a harbor for rodents, bugs and insects.

Deputies worked with the new resident who had the van towed away, prompting the squatter to pack up some belongings and leave. But he left a HUGE mess behind for the new owners to deal with.
