Foreclosure Auction Purchaser Swears Out Felony Complaints Against Former Tenants Claiming Missing Light Fixtures Were Swiped
- A man who purchased two Roanoke buildings at a foreclosure auction last month has taken out felony warrants against a former tenant and her fiance, claiming they stole light fixtures that belonged to him.
- Richard Bishop, who put in the winning bid on the Grandin Village real estate at the Feb. 29 auction, swore out the warrants against Benjamin Ward and Nicole Coleman on March 11, according to court documents. Ward, a former manager of The Isaacs Mediterranean Restaurant, and Coleman, who co-owns the restaurant, were arrested March 13 and released on their own recognizance.
- The Isaacs, which was housed at 1910 Memorial Ave. S.W. since 2007, closed March 10. Ward and Bishop have said the two parties could not strike a new lease agreement.
