Stranger in the Garage

Homeowner Don Bain of Spokane, Washington says there’s a woman living in his garage who he doesn’t know, and he wants her out. Bain had granted permission for his stepson to live in the garage three months ago.

“He moved different people in, he had as high as eight people in here at different times and we told him no you stay there and no one else,” Bain said.

A confrontation led to the stepson being jailed, but one woman continues to live in the garage. Police say they can’t remove her because she had permission from the stepson to stay there. The woman doesn’t pay rent or contribute to utilities. Bain has served her with an eviction notice.
