AN OHIO MAN SAYS HE BULLDOZED HIS $350,000 HOME TO KEEP A BANK FROM FORECLOSING ON IT.

Terry Hoskins says he has struggled with the RiverHills Bank over his home in Moscow, Ohio for years and also had problems with the Internal Revenue Service. He says the IRS placed liens on his carpet store and commercial property and the bank claimed his house as collateral.

Hoskins says he owes $160,000 on the house. He says he spent a lot of money on attorneys and finally had enough. About two weeks ago he bulldozed the home, located 25 miles southeast of Cincinnati.

Messages to verify this information were left with the bank and its attorney.

IRS spokeswoman Jodie Reynolds said individual taxpayer information is private and federal law prevents her from commenting.
