According to local reports, Jamison Bachman was a known nuisance in Philadelphia who had several run-ins with law enforcement and court officials. He had moved back and forth from New York to Philly after compiling a number of debts in the Empire State (via The Philadelphia Inquirer).
As noted by NY Mag and other outlets, Bachman made headlines in 2013 for allegedly destroying the West Philly home of a woman named Melissa Frost and refusing to move out. A report by the City Paper, which is no longer in circulation, quoted the judge who oversaw the ensuing case telling Bachman, "I find you to be totally incredible. I don't believe a word you say — and, frankly, you're frightening." The judge reportedly ordered Bachman to leave Frost's home and pay her $1,300.
Aside from the stories told by Alex Miller, Arleen Hairabedian, and Sonia Acevedo (pictured above) on "Worst Roommate Ever," Frost's tale is another example of Bachman and his evil ways, which included dumping cat litter into toilets and other strange tactics like removing bath mats. Per Frost, the serial squatter's efforts were "life-consuming." As for what happened after Bachman's squatting fiascos, it's here where things actually did turn deadly.
