Quote:A Maryland woman got violent with a local reporter outside a Frederick courthouse earlier this week for daring to ask about her alleged activities involving homes occupied by squatters.

As WBFF reported, Kaniya Washington has used an Instagram account called nayomisavage to feature several advertisements for weeks, including a video tour of homes that are allegedly occupied by squatters.

And she allegedly collects money for helping squatters take over other people’s homes.

“She’s advertising squatter homes,” one female, who said she was connected to a Northwest Baltimore City home by Washington, told WBFF. “She does this for a certain fee, and she’ll move you into somebody’s property that’s not yours, which is about my case.”

More from WBFF:

Spotlight on Maryland viewed a video posted on Washington’s social media account of an inside tour of what the property management company said was taken from inside the home. The management company said they never authorized Washington or others to gain access to the property and notified the Baltimore Police Department (BPD) of an unlawful entry.

BPD said that the occupation of the Northwest Baltimore home was a civil matter since a lease was provided.

On May 10, Spotlight on Maryland contacted the Instagram account that was advertising “last resort” or “squatter homes” to inquire about its content. Spotlight on Maryland asked the account about its frequent posting of videos and advertisements, including ones that showed the inside of a property claimed by a management company to have an unauthorized occupant living there.

WBFF also obtained a leasing agreement between a man and woman occupying a Windsor Mill house and Washington.

Mike Haskell, who actually owns property, revealed that the family took over the home without authorization. According to WBFF, Haskell discovered the squatters after potential buyers noticed a suspicious moving truck in the driveway.

Haskell stopped the sale of the home by paying the family $3,000 to vacate in a “cash for keys” deal.

An investigative journalist from WBFF attempted to interview Washington at Frederick County District Court on Tuesday to give her a chance to respond to the allegations. Washington was there on unrelated traffic charges.

She immediately snapped at the intrepid reporter.

“Following me to court is CRAZY!” Washington said the reporter tried to conduct the interview.

“Do y’all see that?” She added. “Get away from me before I pluck you! I’m not playing!”

The reporter continued to do his job, which only made Washington angrier.

“Get out of my face!” she shouted while hitting the reporter’s hand with a closed fist.

WATCH:

Things got even worse when the reporter refused to yield to Washington. After yelling “Get out of my face!” several more times, she eventually grabbed and busted the reporter’s microphone and stormed off.

Why wasn’t Washington arrested on the spot for her actions, especially considering this was being recorded at a courthouse?
