Flickr.com PhotoThe house at 2211 6th St. N. has not been a problem property in recent years, though it has the great misfortune to sit next to 2207 6th St. N., a notorious problem house recently raided by police...
However, on January 8, 2009, at about 4:30 p.m. there appeared to be a big police action at the house: lots of squads and officers going inside, according to an involved citizen who lives nearby.
Public officials were queried, and Lt. Jeff Rugel of the 4th Precinct emailed back with some information:
"Looks like our squads responded to assist either Hennepin (County) Sheriff or the Department of Corrections Fugitive Unit on an attempted pickup of a fugitive. They found the guy and arrested him. The CCN was 09-007233 but there are no reports because the other agency took the prisoner and wrote the reports in their system. There is a record in VisiNet."
Later, Rugel added, "Usually it is a relative or a boyfriend of the resident who violates parole and gets a warrant issued. The fugitive hunters stake out known acquantances until they figure out where the wanted person is, then they call for help to make the arrest. Sometimes the resident knows their friend is wanted, sometimes they do not.
"That address does not generate a lot of 911 calls, and frankly would not make my top 1000 list for problem properties."
However...people in the neighborhood are very determined to "nip it in the bud" and make sure this house DOESN'T turn into a problem property like its next-door-neighbor.
