NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – Buying your first home is supposed to be a happy time. It began that way for a Nashville woman until the seller refused to leave. “It’s been a nightmare,” said homeowner Tamara Holloway. “The seller has essentially pirated my house.” The seller is Justin McCrory. He says he’s lived in the property for four years and has every right to still be there. “The transaction went through and they’re getting a good clean property,” McCrory said. “What’s the problem?” The problem is that Holloway closed on her home on June 1, and there isn’t an amendment saying he could stay past the closing date. “I technically don’t have to go anywhere,” said McCrory. “They’d have to evict me and they’re not having that.” But Holloway showed us a detainer warrant she filed Thursday, which is the first step in the eviction process. When reporter Jessica Jaglois continued to ask questions, McCrory became hostile. “Shut your mouth,” he said. “You need to learn to take orders!”
