St Ambrose Church closes doors to Blackstone Rangers
St Ambrose Church at 1012 E 47th has stopped hosting the Blackstone Rangers after about five months as a meeting site. Father John Hazard confirmed the ban and declined further comment. Gerald Patton, 17, of 917 E 47th is named as a youth involved, with Charles James, 17, of 4748 Woodlawn also charged. A hearing for both youths is set for today at Central Boys Court. A 17-year-old arrested two weeks ago faces parents’ charges alleging seven youths were forced to attend gang meetings at the church.
