What did the worst roommate ever Scott Pettigrew do?
In 2016, Scott Pettigrew moved in with Anita Mamie Cowen. Although he was a harmless roommate at first, things took a turn for the worse when he stopped paying the rent, and things took a turn for the worse when he destroyed Anita’s home.
Cowen tried to evict Pettigrew from his house, and Pettigrew even enlisted the help of the Riverdale County Sheriff’s Department to serve him with a restraining order ordering Scott to stay at least five yards away from Cowen.
An elderly woman stated in the documents that she was “being terrorized daily in their (own) home” and he needed help because it had been “escalating” every day.
Despite the restraining order, Judge James A. Cox did not require Pettigrew to move out because he did not show violent behavior toward the old lady, much to Cowen’s surprise.
The restraining order did not stop Pettigrew from murdering Cowen four days after it was issued, when authorities found Cowen’s body floating in a pool with cuts and bruises on his face and body.
Law enforcement found Pettigrew naked and covered in scratches inside the house. Although he tried to frame Cowen’s former roommate Darrell, it didn’t work because they had solid evidence against him (a fake alibi and a digital audio recording of the argument), leading to his eventual arrest.
