Three squatters criminally charged with occupying a St. Albans home illegally: DA

Three alleged squatters were indicted by a Queens grand jury for illegally occupying a vacant St. Albans single-family home, where they used electricity without paying and kept multiple pit bulls in the basement.

True Jackson, 41, Saliam Sudler, 35, and Sania Outar, 24, were arrested Tuesday and arraigned in Queens Supreme Court on a five-count indictment charging them with criminal trespass, burglary, theft of services and other related crimes.

The rightful owner’s family noticed unauthorized activity in the home after the property was vacated earlier this year. A subsequent investigation determined that the alleged squatters, who are not residents of Queens, used the St. Albans home as their unlawful permanent residence.

“My office has prioritized removing squatters from the premises when dealing with cases of criminal trespass,” Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said.
