My daughter in law was evicted on July 31st and on july 29th i was having trouble getting her stuff out by midnight due to problems with the truck she said she would work with me . On August 15th she gave me the key because she could not find her birth certificate so i went to the apt. To see if it was in there and was arrested for criminal trespassing
