Police: Squatters in Nashville arrested, say God told them to stay at million-dollar home
View Date:2024-12-23 18:26:38
Brooke Livesay believes God showed her, two other men and a couple of children, a sign to stay at a vacant million-dollar, home in Nashville, Tennessee.
But the law said they were breaking and entering, illegally squatting at the home.
Livesay, 27, Robert Reynolds, 27, and Jason Hay, 40, were each charged with aggravated burglary of the home, leaving it with an estimated $150,000 in damages.
The homeowner called Nashville police on Sunday to report the people. When officers arrived, there was trash littering the outside of the home, according to the arrest affidavits file against the three.
There was major damage to the floors, windows and holes in the walls.
"Cat and dog feces were on the floor. Flies were all over the home," the affidavits said. "A shed in the backyard was damaged and items were missing according to the homeowner."

'God intervened'
Police talked with Reynolds who admitted he knew the house was vacant and believed it to be abandoned. He thought "if he moved his belongings inside that it would qualify himself as an established resident," according to the affidavit.
When asked if she had permission to stay in the home, Livesay told police God intervened. She said didn't know who owned the home and doesn't pay any bills or make payments towards the home, her affidavit said.
Hay was upstairs asleep when police arrived at the home.
"He stated he was also staying at this address and refused to leave," his arrest affidavit said.
The three adults were taken into custody and an officer stayed on scene with the children waiting for a relative to pick them up.
All three remain jailed with bond set at $20,000.
