Arab landlord accused of discrimination, found dead

The Arab landlord fined nearly $50,000 for discriminating against a tenant has been found dead. 60-year old Phillip Maze died Thursday at his residence, after shooting himself in the head, according to Arab police. The federal Housing and Urban Development office announced last week it had issued the fine against Maze for a 2009 case where he allegedly evicted a family over an interracial relationship. Maze had denied the allegation, saying he ordered the tenants to leave because there were seven people living in the mobile home, and he had only agreed to allow four.
