On Dec. 25, a man called the police and asked them to do a welfare check on his friend, who stays in an apartment on Jackson Boulevard. The caller said he was at the residence earlier that day and saw a gun and a lot of narcotics, which he believed a man staying with his friend was selling out of the apartment. According to the police report, officers were familiar with the man suspected of selling narcotics, since he was involved in one of their ongoing investigations, and knew there was a warrant out for his arrest.
Police went to the apartment, where they knocked and announced their presence several times, while hearing commotion inside, before the suspect answered. Police said he didn’t fully open the door and became argumentative, so they pushed open the door to take him into custody. Police couldn’t find the caller’s friend at the residence. Later, the friend allowed police to search his residence and trespassed the man who was staying there. The offender later told police that he had made recent narcotic transactions for crack cocaine and was charged with possession of controlled substance, manufacturing or delivering controlled substance, and his in-state warrant.
