From the report Sharkey stated:
They are criminals,” said Sharkey to WFLA. “I am serving my country, and they have more rights to my home than I do.”
Police told Sharkey that they could do nothing about the couple, Julio Ortiz and Fatima Cardosa, since they already established residency, so the matter would have to be settled in a civil court.

Ortiz claims that he made a verbal agreement with Sharkey’s friend, who was overseeing the home while the soldier and his wife were gone, that they could live there for free as long as they did repairs on the house. Both Sharkey and his friend say those claims are lies, but Ortiz has continued to defend himself.Once word got out that the squatters had taken over Sharkey’s house, a group of military veteran bikers announced that they would be paying a visit to the home to “peacefully make the squatters uncomfortable.”
That seems to be all it took because now, reports say that Ortiz and his girlfriend have packed up their belongings and are leaving the home for good.
Thanks to this Veteran biker group justice was served quickly. It’s evident the police were stopped by the law, but the police allowed the bikers to “demonstrate” without intervening. Groups like Black Lives Matter would blame this on the police. The police are there to uphold the law, and at times they are faced with situations which are unjust, yet they are bound by the law.
Veterans are our heroes. And the thought of some squatters breaking in to a home of one of our military men and trashing it and living there with no regard, makes one angry. Luckily, the brotherhood of military men stood with Army Spc. Michael Sharkey, and he regained his home.
