While I'd LOVE to give the hat tip to the Salisbury Police Department, instead I have to tip my hat to the apartment owner who came out of the shower finding a robber in his apartment. A fight broke out whereas the tenant thought the robber was reaching for a gun and the robber broke loose. However, the tenant was able to catch up with the robber and threw him down a VERY long flight of stairs.
At this moment the SPD have several people in custody, one has already been taken away to the Police Department on a felony warrant from Worcester County. We're not positive at this moment if they have the right suspect in custody or under arrest but Police were on the scene within moments of the 911 call.
WMDT cameras outside their facility should pick up on the exact suspect but what an amazing threat.
You see, Code & Compliance and City Inspectors had just been out last week to this complex owned by Doug Church. There have been numerous complaints of water leaking from the roof into apartments in this building. However, one of the biggest problems tenants have been having is the front door, (supposed to be secured) is constantly swollen by moisture and they can't either close it OR get it open.
There are additional security issues at hand that need to be addressed.
Salisbury News has been the recipient of such complaints and we simply put those people in contact with the proper authorities. I will try to dig up that information and post it at a later time.
In the mean time, Good Work SPD!!!!!

ReplyDeleteGood work to everyone involved including you Joe!
ReplyDeleteI live in the building and have always had trouble getting the front door to close. I have never been scared until today though..I have dealt with the leaks for 3 months and nothing has been done..
ReplyDeleteI live downtown also, in a different location and our door has been broken for months. The owner gets it rigged and its broken again two days later. Get it together owners. These apartments are considered luxury. Yea...until the outside gets in
ReplyDeleteThank you sweet baby Jesus I am moving from here this weekend! See ya NEVER downtown!
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys are enjoying the quality Gillis Gilkinson craftsmanship, subsidized by city tax dollars!
ReplyDeleteAnd Doug isn't the real building owner. It's his mom, Brenda. It doesn't seem like Doug is very honest about that fact. Look it up and see for yourself..
