it's hard to see but it's on the wry side of the street of south and market. kip and nicole macy bought the three-story, six-unit apartment building back in 2005. the trouble with their tenants began a year later when they tried evicting the five who lived here. they lost the battle and that's when terrorizing began. the macys ordered workers to cut the beams that supported the floor of one tenant. they also reportedly cut a hole in a living room floor, cut off electricity, stole money and jewelry all in an effort to get them to move out. prosecutors say nicole broke into an apartment and poured ammonia on clothes, the bedding, and that person's electronics. the couple was arrested but posted bail, then skipped town. they hid out in italy for a couple of years before being arrested there in 2012.
