An officer responded to a report of a homeless person sleeping behind the building at 9219 Lee Hwy. The officer found a tent in the trees. It didn’t appear the tent was on the property of the reporting person, but on the property of the Bojangles restaurant next door. While in Bojangles, the officer met a man, the owner of the tent. The manager of Bojangles said they had no problem with the man being on their property. He was a customer and they were working toward making him an employee. Neither Bojangles nor the original reporting person could say for sure whose property he was on. The officer said until a determination could be made, it appeared to be Bojangles’ property and he could stay until they wanted him to leave or a determination of ownership of the property could be made.
