The first person stepped out wearing a federal tactical vest.
Two agents followed, then building security and a child-services liaison requested because minors were present during the attempted breach. Paige dropped her phone and immediately claimed I had invited her to stay.
The cameras had already recorded otherwise.
Agents separated her from the children, secured the fireplace poker, and photographed the damaged office door. Inside that room were protected case materials and encrypted equipment. She had not merely forced her way into my home; she had attempted to enter a federally secured workspace after receiving a written access warning.
My parents called within minutes.
Mom insisted Paige had misunderstood the code. Dad demanded that I tell the agents it was a family disagreement. Then investigators played the recorded call in which they discussed establishing false residency before I returned.
Their plan stopped sounding like a misunderstanding.
Paige was removed from the building and issued a permanent trespass notice. Her children stayed temporarily with their father, who had never been told she intended to move them into my apartment.
I deleted every family access code, updated my estate documents, and sent formal notices forbidding anyone from representing themselves as occupants of my property.
Paige believed a few weeks inside my home would make eviction emotionally difficult.
Instead, she created a complete recording of unlawful entry, property damage, and a coordinated attempt to manufacture residency.
She looked into my camera and announced, “We live here now.”
The footage proved exactly why they never would.
