Specialist Michael Sharkey has a house in New Port Richey, Florida<\/a> which a felon ans his felon girlfriend has effectively stolen from his while he was deployed. <\/p>\n

Apparently, while he was deployed someone was watching his house for him and hired a couple to do some work in it. They worked on it, OK. They changed the locks and moved in. The police have determined that it’s a civil matter, so Sharkey is going to have to do the legal dance to get his house. The squatters have an extensive criminal record according to the local news;<\/p>\n

Ortiz spent a combined twelve years in prison in New Jersey for robbery, car jacking and selling drugs on school property. He was released in 2011. Fatima Cardorso spent more than two years in prison on drug charges and was released in 2006.<\/p>\n

Ortiz was arrested three times in Pasco County last year on minor charges. Cardoso has been arrested in Pasco County seven times on drug charges since 2011.<\/p>\n

“They are criminals,” Sharkey said. “I am serving my country, and they have more rights to my home than I do.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
