EXCLUSIVE: Ghana defender Samuel Inkoom facing $65,000 lawsuit for owing rent in the USA

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.

In addition, the suit alleges, the estimated cost to repair damage to the property plus miscellaneous costs associated with the abandonment is $37,032.01.

The suit claims the property 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.”
