Romeo Crenshaw, an Army veteran living in Charlotte, North Carolina, was facing eviction and near-homelessness despite paying his $3,250 monthly rent on time every single month. The money he was sending, which he believed was going to his landlord, never actually reached them, according to court records.
According to The Sun, the trouble started in early December when Crenshaw was at work and received a frantic call warning him that Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office deputies were at his home ready to evict him. He was told his dog could be taken to the pound if he didn’t return within the hour.
