SAMUEL INKOOM SUED $65,000 BY LANDLORD.

Ghana defender Samuel Inkoom has been sued for
damages in excess of $65,000 for being in debt to
his landlord during his time with DC United,
GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively reveal.
Curtis Paul Willette, of Front Royal, Va is seeking $
65,316.01 in damages from the 25-year-old in a
suit that also enjoins his wife, Omega.
The former FC Basel man was signed by DC United
in September 2014 but was three months later
traded to Houston Dynamo in a deal which
eventually fell through over the failure of the club
and the player to agree on personal terms.
It is unclear whether Inkoom continued to live in
the residence of contention but according to
documents filed in Arlington Circuit Court on
Tuesday, Willette claims Inkoom owes $11,685 in
unpaid rent and late fees from February 2015 to
April 2015.
The monthly rent of $3,795 will continue to accrue
through October.
The right-back is also being accused of damaging
the property for which he is being charged $
37,032.01 to repair damage plus miscellaneous costs
associated with the abandonment – suggesting that
Inkoom later moved out of the house.
The suit further claims the property located in
South Monroe Street near Columbia Pike suffered
“extensive wastewater damage and other damage”
after Inkoom mounted a TV onto the wall of the
living room and “punctured a sewer waste line
causing sewage leaks and backups to infiltrate the
walls and floors.” Samuel Inkoom joined DC United
in September 2014.
The complainant, Chris Paul Willette who bought the
three-year home for $790,000 says the house is
“uninhabitable and unshowable” to rent. “It smells
horrible.”
He goes on to further say he is in no position to
afford repairing the damages suffered on all three
levels of the house without new rental opportunities
and for that matter might end up selling the
property.
Willete claims he made attempts in February to
contact Inkoom after missing an extension to pay
his rent but then the Ghanaian’s phone registered
no service.
His real estate agent who first inspected the
facility according to the complainant reported:
“There is a major problem here” and that trash
was strewn around the home and two-car garage.
When he toured the property himself, Willete said:
“I couldn’t believe it. It was just ruined.”
Inkoom, who was in Ghana’s squad for the World
Cup finals in 2010 and 2014 signed a contract to
play for DC United in September 2014 in a deal
which according to reports was to earn him $
103,875 annually.
He is currently a free agent after failing to seal a
move to Houston Dynamo having failed to agree on
personal terms after being traded to the club.
