Georgia authorities say they arrested a man who allegedly squatted in a military officer's home while she was deployed.
DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office announced that Vincent Denard Simon was served an intruder affidavit on Thursday for unlawfully occupying the Ellenwood home.
The homeowner, a military officer named Lt. Colonel Dahlia Daure, had the house for sale while Simon was illegally living in it. She was serving in the U.S. Army Reserve in Chicago at the time.
Daure told WSB-TV that she was frustrated with the process of evicting the squatter and felt violated.

"I was beside myself and I felt violated. Had I not been serving my country, I would have been in my home," Daure explained.
"I want to go shoot out the windows, turn off the water, cut wires, but I can’t," she added. "That’s a crime. Law-abiding citizens can’t do that."
Authorities also discovered drugs and a weapon allegedly left by Simon in the home during their investigation.

"The civil service process was accomplished without incident and Mr. Simon vacated the residence, but a weapon was found inside the home and drugs were found on the suspect before he left the premises," DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Simon was promptly taken into custody and booked into DeKalb County Jail.
