JAMESTOWN, NY (WNY News Now) – Officers with Jamestown Police allegedly busted a man squatting in a condemned residence on Tuesday.

Around 7:30 p.m. police responded to a reported “suspicious situation” at an address on the city’s westside. When officers arrived at the scene, they found an open rear door of the residence.
