A homeowner in Atlanta, Georgia, was arrested for attempting to evict squatters from his own property.

Tim Arko said in an interview with local news that he arrived at his rental property in February after tenants moved out, only to find out that someone had broken into the house. As he approached the property, he was met at gunpoint.

Arko called the police but was arrested after officers arrived since the alleged squatters claimed that he was trespassing in their home.

"I just jumped the fence and ran," he commented. "I didn't walk in on a family eating dinner. I walked in on weapons, a prostitute, a bunch of dogs in the back, my fence broken down."

Six months later, the squatters are still at the home, and Arko is working to get them evicted.
