Storage Wars Star's Son Demands Dad's Girlfriend Be Booted After Death
Brandon Sheets, son of late "Storage Wars" star Darrell Sheets, demanded that his father's girlfriend be removed from the house in Lake Havasu City after Darrell's tragic death. According to police reports, Brandon wanted the woman trespassed and escorted off the property.
Police explained that since the woman had been living there, she would need to be formally evicted or leave voluntarily. The woman told police that Brandon and his wife accused her of stealing money from Darrell, which created tension between father and son, with Darrell defending her.
She said she had known Darrell for over a year and had lived with him for three months. She also described the harrowing moments before his death: she woke up to find him not in bed, and when she went to look for him, he told her to go back to their room, then she heard a single gunshot. She immediately called 911 and waited in the garage for police.
As previously reported, Darrell Sheets was found dead at his Arizona home on April 22. The medical examiner later ruled his death a suicide. Fans of the show were shocked by the news, as Darrell was one of the most colorful personalities on the series.
Disputes over inheritance and property after a reality star's death are not uncommon. Brandon, who also appeared on "Storage Wars," will likely have to settle his father's estate. It remains unclear if the girlfriend has been removed, but police have documented the incident.
