(WDRB Fox 41) -- Police say a Louisville man was leasing out homes he didn't even own -- and his "tenants" were completely in the dark.29-year-old Gary Hammond was arrested Monday afternoon near the intersection of Cannons Ln. and Dayton Ave.Police say that on Feb. 24, Hammond pretended to be the owner of a foreclosed home in the 2600 block of Patio Ct., west of Manslick Rd.

Jaime,My attorney drew up all my contracts and if you look at publications from the FBI (Mortgage Fraud Reports 2009 - latest) there are "NO CLEAR NUMBERS on short sale fraud"I think if you even look into convictions of short sale fraud you may find UNDER 5 cases of arrest and conviction, so it's not this WIDE SPREAD epidemic that people seem to think.While I appreciate you may be uneasy with it there is NO LAW that I'm aware of that states you cannot buy and resell the same property - even immediately.

If they don't live their then they are trespassing and you should be able to have them arrested. if they do then you need to have to go through the legal process and get a summary enactment.

I did some "google stalking" on the guy and found out he was arrested earlier this year for drug trafficking.

I do get followup emails of his newsletter, but they are still somewhat interesting, so I haven't even cancelled those yet.I will take your word for it Mike, it does seem to have several good reviews...I am just so cautious about these things because of the many horror stories (not to mention arrests) out there.

Brown, who was arrested in October, does not have an attorney listed and did not respond to messages left on his cellphone.County constable Clint Burgess said authorities have interviewed a handful of people claiming "adverse possession" who said they spoke to Robinson.

If the tenant interfered with the process they would have been arrested (IA has a great charge of "Interference with Official Acts").

I just don't understand why these people can not be arrested for stealing or held more accountable for their financial debts to the landlord.

Right and the purpose of the First Amendment is to guarantee groups like those protesting the Viet Nam war in the 1960's and those opposing the war in Iraq were not summarily arrested and their views silenced.The law suit you have described so far is not a free speech issue since no government agency has prevented you from saying anything you want about anyone or anything.

It's not going to get fun until someone starts doing pranks of those like "Local John arrested soliciting prostitutes" or something....lol
