Woman facing eviction uses truck to tear front off house

Facing eviction, a woman in Detroit believed, to be an angry tenant, used a truck and a heavy duty chain to pull down the front of a rental home in the Sussex area at about 2 a.m. on Monday. "We heard all this noise in the middle of the night but didn't think anything about it," said Marcus Todd, 13, who lives next door.

"Then the next morning, we all saw that the front of the house was gone. It was in great shape, too; they really kept it nice." The front of the home now rests askew on the front lawn so any passerby can look directly into the living room. There are holes punched in the wall and broken windows on the sides of the home.



Todd said the tenants were a man, a woman and the woman's teenage daughter. Neighbours said they saw a woman, believed to be the tenant, chain a truck to the house. "They were really pleasant people," Todd said. "They'd lived there longer than I've been alive."

According to tax records, the owner of the home lost it in a tax foreclosure in 2010 after failing to pay 2008 property taxes. The home was then bought at the Wayne County Treasurer's tax sale in October for $3,000 by a company called Angel Haus.
Records show the home is owned by the Angel Group LLC.
