Syracuse police evict woman, 101, and granddaughter for violating nuisance abatement law

"....Three arrests at the Baker Avenue house since 2006 have included weapons and drug charges, and that activity is disrupting the neighborhood, said Phil Prehn, of Syracuse United Neighbors, a community agency pushing for the eviction..... All threearrests involved Kareem Brown, a nephew who periodically stayed at the house, Bianco said.

Two of the arrests involved search warrants and police found marijuana and cocaine, as well as drug paraphernalia leading them to believe Brown was dealing.

Brown, who served prison time for the drug convictions, no longer is allowed there and the owners also have put up a "No Trespassing" sign, which they believed "abated the nuisance," Bianco said. The last arrest there was in January...."
