“I offered him $ 500 a month [to let the squatter stay in the house]And he told me that if I came back, he would take my life, “Folts explained in News 8.

“I gave him a few more months just squatting, and then I went through the court proceedings, the removal procedure,” Folts said. “You have taken all the appropriate legal steps to remove it, and then some, and that is all. And now we are still squatting with him in the house.”
Folts added that they contacted Rochester’s police, who went home. But when the police tried to enter the house and “welcome” the squatter, Folts claimed that the officers had left and said it was not their job. “
Police Captain Rochester Greg Bello told Fox News Digital in a statement that the department “has no legal authority to execute emigration. They were completed by the City Marshal (not the City of Rochester, they work with the Rochester City Court). The judge did not issue a court order that enabled RPD to force entry into a place for the arrest of passengers, and therefore we have no legal authority for this.
“I fully understand the frustration of new homeowners, but they dictate our actions by law and courts.”
