lives with his chihuahua in a condo in the Lime Tree
development west of Boynton Beach. Below's girlfriend owned
the condo. Now Below says the condo association has told
him, he was never approved to live there, and has to get
out-- within days.
Asked
where he will live, Below says he doesn't know. "I got
the dog," said Below. "I can't find a place. I
don't have but 640 dollars a month. So where do I have to
live?"
