Marion County Genius at Work - case study #2
We have another local genius to came up with a great plan to live in a house...rent free.
I guess that somehow he just didn't think he would get caught. Too smart for everyone else perhaps.
SILVER SPRINGS SHORES - Carl Kopsho, the man who claimed he was renting a home from someone posing as a landlord, has been accused of lying to detectives, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
But Kopsho, 34, is still living at 15 Olive Drive in Silver Springs Shores, the home he is accused of trespassing in. He said Monday that he has done nothing wrong except pay a man who goes by the name of Tyrone Grian $800 every month to live in the home, which is actually owned by Sebastian Wagner, a New York resident.
"I am the victim here, and they're treating me like a criminal," Kopsho said on Monday. "I'm out $2,400 when it comes down to it, and now I have to go to court."
Well, it could happen. Cops make mistakes and sometimes innocent people who are victims get screwed by the legal system. Except...
Sheriff's deputies arrested Kopsho on Friday on charges of common law cheating, trespassing and lying to detectives. Detectives say Kopsho produced a lease agreement and receipts of rent payments that detectives later determined were false.
"Through an investigation and the help of a witness, detectives discovered Kopsho was living on the property without the owner, or anyone else's consent," a Sheriff's Office news release states. "He reportedly heard about 'squatters' living in vacant homes and told a witness he had come up with a similar scheme to illegally live in a house for free."

The rent receipts and the lease agreement were NEVER found to be false. This is a statement made by the detective in the case, which had no foundation except the fact that he thought it to be so. In fact, all charges were dropped within a week. All charges were found to be false and only brought about in the first place because the detective on the case was dumb enough to allow the press to put the story on the front page of the news paper. That alone made it impossible to try to get the man who was renting the home to Mr. Kopsho, to be caught. It took over 8 hrs of sitting in a cell for the detectives to come up with the boggus charges. After several hrs of threats and accusations,Kopsho told police to either arrest him or get the hell out of his place of business. Detectives sat outside his business for two hrs before, without even handcuffing him or reading him his rights, asked him to please get in thier car and drove him to the jail fro the remaining 8 hrs awaiting the charges. Thats the true story. I know because I LIVED IT!
Well, I take your word for it. And am posting your comment without checking.
