"We've had disputes over who pays which bill," said Deputy Farrell Combs, 12 years with the county sheriff's office. "We've never had a husband draft an actual lease and charge his wife rent for a house she legally owns outright." Coswick was arrested on a harassment complaint filed by his wife after she reported the late fee accumulating despite never having agreed to the lease. He reportedly asked whether the shed's utilities could be considered a deductible expense. Some disputes end with a conversation. This one ended with a lease agreement, a due date, and a very confused sheriff's deputy.
