"Double Raid" Details Continue To Emerge

Photo By A Citizen Volunteer

The "Fourth Precinct Highlights" weekly email listserv is always an informative treat, but this week was like Christmas as details arrived about police raids on 2207 6th St. N. and 2331 Sheridan....

According to the Fourth Precinct, the raid on 2207 6th St. N. took place at 1333 hours (1:33 PM, Civilian Time) and was Incident 08-327709. A CRT search warrant recovered 3 grams of crack cocaine (which was subsequently determined to be 2.5 grams) 30 hits of ecstasy, weed, (unknown quantity) gang material and a loaded 9 mm.

Arrested were Geneiva Brown--possibly the one neighbors call "grandma"--age 60, Calvin Stovall, 54, Annette Brown, 32, Beatrice Brown, 30, William Allen, 27, Darnell Watson, 21, Mitchell Dixon, 51 and Dominique Watson, 18. All of these individuals--with the exception of William Allen--have a history of troubles with the police. Annette Brown has 20 incidents to her name, but this is nothing compared to "Good Boy" Dominique Watson with 43 incidents.

There were 7 "misdemeanor tags" as a result of this raid. Since 8 persons were arrested, it would appear one was not tagged at all.

Change To State Nuisance Law Helps Hawthorne Neighbors

My citizen volunteer passes on information which came "from Jennifer at SAFE." Because of a change recently made to the State Nuisance law, the County Attorney would be able to take much faster action against 2207 6th St. N. The change in the law was sponsored by our very own State Senator Linda Higgins. Had Higgins not made possible this change in the law, a couple more risky and expensive police raids would have been necessary before anything could be done about the crime, drugs, rampant filth and neighborhood terrorizing which emanates like an evil green aura from 2207 6th St. N., the House From Hell.

And this one is no basket of cherries, either...

2331 Sheridan Ave. N.

The "Sheridan Raid" took place the same day, but two hours earlier at 1121 hours. (Incident 08-327605) This is the one where the white van pulled up in front of a guy who was touring the neighborhood, and police emerged with machine guns yelling "get down, get down."

And none of this discouraged the guy who was touring the neighborhood! My kind of (potential) North Minneapolis neighbor!

According to the 4th Precinct Highlights, a narcotics search warrant recovered $4,228, weed, heroin residue, knifes (sic), ammo, two guns--one loaded and both accessible to children in the home. (I assume Child Protective Services is all over this)

Arrested were the following black males and females: Daniel Wheeler, 25, Jasmine McClellan, 25, Klahn Jarbah, 25, Sarah Carey, 22, Lavell Jackson, 21, and Percell Kewis (sic), 22, all with fairly well-developed histories of troubles with the police.

THANK YOU FOURTH PRECINCT!!!!!
