In my video, I mistakenly said it took the Attorney General’s Office two weeks to investigate. It actually only took eight days — most likely because Fullwood left for a two-week vacation right after emailing me the response.
I didn’t include the evidence Anna submitted because it contained banking information, along with a copy of the lease and house rules. However, she conveniently left out the “Welcome Home” letter she sends to tenants — the one that clearly states she’s operating a business.
I responded with a copy of that letter, along with screenshots of her website and her LLC registration.
There are two types of misconduct here:
First, misconduct by the Attorney General’s Office for failing to investigate properly and misclassifying a business dispute as a personal matter, contrary to what the law requires.
Second, misconduct by Anna for deliberately misleading a law enforcement agency — which, under North Carolina law, is a criminal offense classified as a Class 2 misdemeanor — yet the DOJ still chose to take no action.
