Sex Offenders and Murderers Welcome

Attention sex offenders and murderers: Do you need a place to live?

A Dog River couple is getting ready to rent out rooms. They say people in their neighborhood are trying to get rid of them and its payback time.

You can't miss the FOR RENT signs. They're posted in the yard and the trees!

Bobby White says he's fed up with the neighbors. "I will be here renting out rooms to sex offenders and ex-murderers and ex-thieves! They forced me into this as long as they are not on parole or on paper. I can rent out rooms to whoever I like."

White says he and his partner Giles Ham can't live on Riverview Avenue in Peace. "I've been threatened at the mailbox of being shot. Our house has been threatened to be burned down."

Their Dog River neighbors like Eleni Tyler says that the signs just popped up one day. "They've got signs up and I'm having to explain to my daughter what this means. The neighborhood is extremely upset about it."

It's no secret that Ham was convicted of a sex crime in 1990. Everyone got the notice.

Tyler claims an inappropriate comment was made to her 11-year old daughter. "They were cat calling her Hey Baby and their excuse was they were looking for their dog."

White says the couple wanted to move but they can't do that either. He says the real estate agents have been harassed too "If they want us to leave so bad, leave our real estate alone." News 5's Tiffany Craig says, "That doesn't make sense! If they don't want you here why would they mess up the selling house process?" White replies, "I have no idea."

If their house doesn't sell by December 20th, the doors of the 3500 square foot house open up for rent.

So far, three people have applied to rent a room. There's room for ten!

Neighbors are making calls to try and get the signs taken down!

Both sides have called the cops. Mobile Police say nothing criminal is going on.
