Never in the 52 years, I have been on this planet have I heard of someone pouring cement down the plumbing drain...sugar in a gas tank, yes, but this literally takes the cake

This plummer did exactly what he is accused of. His attitude tells the story

That defendant is unreal. Hopefully no one else that rents to him makes him mad.

"You clean your van on top of the roof???" Bailiff: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is part of why there are fewer and fewer private landlords and why apartments are so expensive. The small landlords are tired of these destructive renters and have sold off their houses and the big companies running apartments are charging as much as they can and have to make up for destructive tenants.

the plumber is a liar. sewer will not back up that high to come out a roof vent. Will back up and over flow out the toilet first. And that was not sewer but concrete spilled on side of vent pipe. Glad Judge knew the difference.

What an incredibly evil thing to do to someone else's property!

Defendant started off extra SASSY with that "Well lets statt with the facts".

The plaintiff had literal "Concrete Evidence " 🤣🤣🤣

Having bills, rent to pay, and him not having a way to pay, is not the plaintiffs' problem😳

Those pesky neighborhood kids always climbing up on the roof and pouring concrete down the pipes

What a bum, not only are you not paying your rent but you damage their property...

The defendant is a horrible liar and crazy.

wow, the defendant is a vicious dude

“Sorry but you lost!” 😂🤣Doug is the 🐐

What a nasty, vindictive piece of work he is, and that's how he treats a friend that has been trying to help him out, who needs enemies when you have friends like that...

I've heard of "concrete evidence" but this is ridiculous.

Plumber is lying. He would have told the landlord day one, his plumbing was ruined.

Do something like that to me, I won't take you to court. I'll track you down and straighten the matter out myself.

He should have received more for the malicious intent

The defendant was guilty as hell. Landlords can't pay the mortgage on the house they rent to you with empty excuses. The lanord is lucky he only had to pay that much. Most area, that much work would have easily cost twice as much. The defendant knew exactly what he was doing and what would cause the most to repair.

That defendant knew he did that. Like it’s so unreal, why would you do that to someone else’s property? How mature

"She didn't let me talk!" Because no one cares that he knocked on the back door of a house he owns! Also, it's not defamation when it's factually true!

I'm mind blown he was able to fix that for 2800 I thought jt woulda been waaaay more.

I believe the defendant is as guilty as sin for pouring concrete down the drain/vent pipes because he had full motive to do so due to the eviction.

In regards to the question at the end; I had two people living with me on different occasions for about a year each and they hardly paid anything towards rent and utilities. They finally moved out so thankfully I didn't have to go through the eviction process. I'll never have another roommate again.

Blaming the pandemic is sad. Im a master plumber and I have never been more busy in my life, than during the pandemic. Never missed a day

The defendant is delusional… 😒🙄

He did it!

I'd like to think if you're going to do something malicious, you don't make it look like you hired 6 year olds

Cement?? Somebody was really mad.

What a rotten thing to do!

The defendant is one big liar

That was so foul to do as a tenant in so many ways 😭 it genuinely makes me want to NEVER be a landlord! Honestly, the plaintiff deserved more than that for someone intentionally ruining their plumbing like that smh. That was so evil.

If youre gonna commit a crime dont be sloppy about it lmao 🥴 You. left. the. evidence 🤣

Concrete Chris has problems other than a poor business, homie was tweak'n.

Guilty !

The defendant is obviously angry, even as he gives his testimony, all this time after the fact. It’s pretty obvious the defendant did exactly what he’s being accused of. God pity his children.

He is the tenant from hell

It's as plain as the nose on Pinocchio's face! Yikes!

The Defendant is like Pinocchio. The more he talked, the bigger his nose got. KABOOM!!! 💥

Lucky he is not getting charged criminally.

This defendant is delusional🙄

If you listen to the defendant’s words, he’s telling the truth. HE didn’t go up on the roof and pour the cement. As he said, a younger person had to have done it. I believe that. What he’s leaving out is that the person who did it, did so per the defendants instructions.

"They" don't have to know anything about piping, they just need to be able to recognize concrete when they see it. Nice job leaving the bucket and the bag of concrete behind, by the way.

I had this exact same think happen once. We bought a bank foreclosure. Sold the house then the new owner did a load of laundry and flooded the home. Called me. Long story short the people who were foreclosed on poured concrete down all the drain lines.

That defendant NOSE exactly what he did. 🙃👃

Did anyone else raise an eyebrow when the defendant said he left his 15 year old daughter home alone with her boyfriend or am I just old fashioned?

The defendant is an F'n liar! Excuse me, I regress, he ain't even good at that!

The house is the looser in this...

the defendant it clearly not telling the truth ..what a horrible person

Why would he leave evidence there

IT''S SO ODD HOW SOME PEOPLE LOOK EXACTLY HOW YOU WOULD THINK

Defendant lied because he said at one point he was looking for work he could do for the plaintiff. He also said he called the plaintiff and said his drains were clogged. If he lived there and needed work why not fix the problems in his own house and deduct it from the rent?

Sounds like a long time tweaker. Maybe he had his daughters boyfriend get on the roof.

Defendant at the end. "I'm thinking the judge is very biased and doesn't bother listening to the evidence that's what's in the front of her, she didn't let me talk" Adrian, was that you?

"The cement is dry, Mr Owens. I'm done."

Luminous haircoloring. So amazing!

I have a friend who owns rental houses in Memphis. One renter was being evicted and it takes 3 months start to finish. The jerk pours some kind of resin all over the hardwood floors causing them to buckle. She got awarded a judgement and he went to another court and the judge declared him a pauper and he didn't have to pay judgement.

Unfortunately this same thing happened to our previous landlord. We lived at our address for 20 years and have since bought the home we were renting. Before we started renting his previous tenants got into drugs and quit paying rent and caring for the house and yard. He had to evict them. Their children were even taken. The situation had gotten so bad. When the got evicted the busted the toilet sinks and shower/tub with sledgehammer, poured concrete down the vents and drains and busted all windows. Luckily he had amazing insurance cause it cost around 100,000 for all the repairs. They were luckily prosecuted. He was an amazing landlord to us. We were in the market to buy and he was wanting to retire so he worked out an amazing deal for us. Again we rented for 20 years from him with no issues at all.

That was evil. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😱😱😱🤦🏻‍♀️

Don’t see how this is not a criminal act and be subjected to jail time

Defendant seems to think landlords have a limitless supply of money and can float rent for months. He doesn't realize many of us live month-to-month with our finances too.

something is strange about the both of them.

yikes what a horrible person.

When the lying scumbag said that the stuff on the vents and roof was from a backup it removed the last remaining doubt that he did what he was accused of.

I got evicted from a house because their family member needed a place to live. My land lord was also a Mr Tuthill. Hahaha

Never let other peoples problems become your problems.

I don't know the defendant but I don't like him.

I hope that last question was someone trying to be facetious. If this is a legitimate question from a life experience, seriously??? My best legal advice..."DON'T OVERSTAY YOUR WELCOME!"

The plantiff should have gotten punative damages because that was unbelievably malicious and immature.

Man, I guess I'm seriously old school: the defendant has a problem with the landlord showing up to collect rent because the guy is 2 months behind, but has zero issues with his 15-yo daughter being home alone with her bf. If dad can't afford to house himself, his daughter and his pets, what's he going to do when he suddenly becomes a grandfather?

I have a suspicion that it was the 17 yr old daughter's boyfriend. With the defendant's full knowledge and help.

No doubt he got the idea from Seinfeld S2 E7 where Kramer put cement into the washing machine. :-)

Defendant got away with 2 months free rent and destroying the pipes. I wonder if the producers wince when she awards court costs and interest since the show pays all the judgements?

Jeez, you'd think a plumber could do a better job of shoving cement down a chimney. Probably was drunk. That's why he got it everywhere.

Lmaoooo he said the plaintiff scared his daughter to death by going over when she was alone and she’s 15 then says “oh well her boyfriend was there so he went to go tell him to not do that again” bruh 💀

I can't stand a POS who can look you in the eye & lie, especially when you have the proof & they know you have the proof 🤦🏼‍♀️ 😡

He should go to jail. That’s vandalism.

That poor poor criminal. Will he ever win?

I would have sued for punitive damages. The act was done with malice intent. Doesn't that qualify?

During the pandemic a lot of our renters were able to get two months rent paid with minimal effort on our part. Why wouldn’t the landlord accept this? All money spends the same

You could tell the defendant is guilty, he’s twitching and licking his lips too much.

“I don’t climb on ladders.. there’s younger kids that lives there” okay then you had your daughters bf help you if you didn’t pour it yourself.

Now that is some serious damage!

8:50. The judge is wiping her hands of the case. I already know who won!

3000 that’s all he ask for . ? The defendant is something else smh

That viewer question though 😮

The defendant’s attitude stinks. He is such a liar.

Defendant belongs back in prison

The defendant said the charity was going to pay him to get his business going.. did he mean that as in to pay his past rent, or pay him to get his plumbing business started up?

In the end he said that the judge doesn't know anything about piping.... do you not know who she is? 🤣 she knows a lot HOWEVER even if you don't know anything about piping, you can still tell that it was concrete and not backed up sewage coming from the stacks on the roof haha that was entertainment to watch. Remember kids, even grown up have to deal with the consequences for their decisions. He made a bad decision and is now paying for it.

This is why people like the defendant are homeless and I dont feel sorry for them.

When I was little my parents owned a home in Florida. Due to life changes we had to move back home to NYC and rather than sell the house they rented it. Renters wouldn't pay and when finally served with eviction, they pulled this cement crap. Not only did they pour cement down toilets and drains; they trashed the house period. People suck.

I think I'd have been angrier that my 15 yo was home alone with her boyfriend

Plumber crack...lol

I don’t see how what defendant did isn’t criminal and whether he could be charged for such. Only a person who’s never owned anything in their life would conceive of doing such to another’s home. The defendant doesn’t deserve a rebounded business, a roof over his head, and especially a 15 ur old daughter who will hopefully be the opposite of what her father is.

He could have got punitive damages too.

What kind a plumber is two months ahead in rent? A bad plumber?

For a plumber he's doesn't know what he's looking at, its clear he did it!
