Squatters Return to $2.3M Maryland Home After Jail Release
Neighbors Fear Escalation
February 11, 2026

BETHESDA, Md. (WBFF) — A former inmate has slipped back into a $2.3 million Bethesda mansion just days after a 90-day prison sentence, reigniting a neighbor-fueled dispute that has turned the quiet suburb into a real-life courtroom drama.

Neighbors say the property, owned by Citigroup Mortgage after a foreclosure, was taken over by Tamieka Goode and her partner, Corey Pollard. Social-media clips posted by Goode, including a TikTok line, “You can’t be doing regular people s––t,” have amplified tensions.

“Less than two weeks of being incarcerated, Tamieka Goode is back in the house,” neighbor Ian Chen, a 19-year-ancient college student living next door, told reporters.

Out on Bond

Goode, who describes herself as a “pro-se litigation coach,” was found guilty on all counts of fourth-degree burglary and trespassing by Judge John C. Moffett on Jan. 22, 2026. She received a 90-day sentence, served immediately and posted a $5,000 cash appeal bond before being released on Feb. 2.

Within hours, security footage captured two women walking across the icy driveway, one wearing green pants matching Goode’s outfit when she faced the judge.

Attorney’s Defense

In a candid interview, Goode’s lawyer Alex J. Webster, III of Maronick Law, claimed his client “did her research” and exploited a “title issue” to invoke so-called squatter’s rights, even though Maryland has no specific statute granting such rights.

Webster declined to confirm the number of occupants, saying, “definitely more than one,” and defended Goode’s parenting, noting a juvenile child was present during Goode’s brief incarceration.

Law Enforcement Response

When Ian Chen first called police about a suspected forced entry, officers merely knocked and left after receiving no answer. Subsequent inquiries to the Montgomery County Police Department were redirected to the agency’s landlord-tenant office.

Shiera Goff, director of media and public information, wrote that the occupants have “gained residency status” after more than 30 days in the home.

Legal History of Corey Pollard

Pollard faces an active bench warrant for missing a hearing in late Jan. 2026. Over the past decade he has been charged with vehicle theft, felony theft, and unauthorized property removal. Federal records show a 2024 conviction for transporting stolen vehicles from Pennsylvania to Maryland.
