A Maryland woman accused of making social media posts advertising houses for squatters to occupy threatened to violently assault a news reporter after he confronted her on the illegal scheme.
The incident unfolded last week as WBFF’s “Spotlight on Maryland” investigation team was referred by squatters to the woman’s social media posts (under the now-deleted Instagram handle: @nayomisavage), in which she filmed video tours of empty “for sale,” or “for lease” homes, then allegedly rented them illegally to squatters for a one-time fee.
After WBFF reached out to the woman, Kaniya Washington, she responded claiming she hadn’t done anything illegal, before posting a video asking for an interview.
Upon the request, WBFF investigative reporter Gary Collins headed to catch Washington as she left court on an unrelated charge, asking, “Why are you connecting individuals to squatter houses on your social media?”
Washington, caught completely off-guard, began pleading to passersby and onlookers for help before threatening to punch Collins in the face.
“Do you all see this? Get away from me before I clock you,” Washington told Collins, lunging threateningly toward the reporter.
The woman next snatched the sound receiver on Collins’ microphone before throwing it onto the ground.
Washington’s name reportedly appeared in leasing agreement documents obtained by WBFF from a squatting couple occupying a property with their two children, who identified Washington from social media photos as the woman who leased the home.
However, the home was already sold to another buyer by property owner Mike Haskell, whose buyer called him after spotting a U-Haul truck in the driveway. Haskell was then forced to pay the squatters $3,000 in a “cash for keys” deal so they could leave the property.
In a social media update, under the Instagram handle @nayomitherealtor, Washington blamed her reaction on feeling ambushed, before senselessly arguing the issue wasn’t squatting, but systemic injustice against black people.
This week, WBFF reported the Fredericks County sheriff’s office had filed assault and property destruction charges against Washington following her violent encounter with the reporter.
Meanwhile, Baltimore residents have labeled squatting an “epidemic,” as local and state politicians on both sides of the aisle scramble to tackle the problem.
Here’s a 33-minute mini-documentary by WBFF on the squatting epidemic:
