Nancy Jean Feltus Of 2218 Lyndale Ave. N. Arrested On Narcotics Violation, Warrant...

Mug Shot Courtesy Of MPD

Lately I've been getting a load of arrest reports and mug shots, and I'm happy to just keep putting this stuff out on the blogosphere. I'll make a point of saying this: if you get arrested for drugs or prostitution in North Minneapolis, there's a good chance your face and address will end up on the internet.

So best to avoid engaging in those activities in North Minneapolis.

In any case...

Nancy Jean Feltus, age 47 but looks 80, appears to have a drug problem...

On September 5, 2009, she was arrested by Officers Anthony R. Caspers and Griffin K. Hillsbo for an (alleged) narcotics violation and a warrant. Her home address is 2218 Lyndale Ave. N., an address which has seen some interesting developments recently: it was condemned for a lack of utilities on September 15, click here. The owner is Jerome Murschel, age 44, whose address is also 2218 Lyndale Ave. N.

Murschel was apparently caught up in the same incident as Feltus, but was only cited and released for driving after revocation, not any drug crime. For this reason, I don't have a mug shot of Murschel.

One can't help but take some comfort in the fact the owner of 2218 Lyndale Ave. N. is listed as the Federal National Mortgage Association, and the fate of this house appears to be up in the air.

Oh. My. Goodness.

This is my former residence, called "drug-o-topia," by this blog.

I was renting the upper unit when I first moved into the Hawthorne neighborhood. I woke up one morning and saw Hennepin County sheriffs raiding the downstairs unit (where Mr. Murschel lives) and the garage. I asked the officer what was going on and they told me it was a narcotics raid.

The occupants and their friends were chronic inebriates, but seemed to mind their own business. There was some indication of drug activity, but they kept things relatively quiet (aside from CONSTANT bonfires, which apparently masked the smell of all the pot they were smoking).

Yes, one of the people who hung out in the back yard confirmed it was a pot bust.

Well, I moved out right away for several reasons: 1) safety, 2) how could I call out drug-dealing activities if I was renting from someone who was part of the problem? and 3) if the law was on to his dealing, then it was only a matter of time before the income being used to sustain the property dropped and the place went into foreclosure.

Well, it appears the latter has finally happened. We need to watch this property and keep it secure. It's a great structure with a lot of neat characteristics. It is a duplex, but really should be converted back into a large single-family residence. It's right next door to an evangelical Latino church.

I am worried about what might happen to a place formerly owned by drug dealers with pyromaniac tendencies. This house needs to get out of their hands as soon as possible, and into the possession of someone who will take good care of it.

Jeff,

I thought the address and one of the names sounded familiar, but I didn't have time to confirm this was "drug-o-topia" before getting the content online. I figured if it was, you'd tell me.

If readers are interested in some of the back story about this place, and Jeff's dramatic flight from "upper drug-o-topia," check out this URL.

is this a double exposure, or does she really have like eight nostrils down the side of her nose?

if there's not something seriously wrong with the photo, then i think we should take a serious look into our northside water quality.

I think those are moles or some other kind of blemish, not a double exposure of (heaven forbid) extra nostrils.

yeah, they're called METH sores...

gross!

(i'm both terribly sad for this woman and terribly happy that the 4th precinct is cleaning up the filth that is holding down our community)

GBT4P!
