County wins court injunction over Mount Airy trailer park
A Maryland circuit court ordered eight families off a Mount Airy property on Mill Bottom Road after finding the site operated mobile homes without proper permits. County officials testified the property had stock of trailers and substandard sanitary facilities, with one permit traced to the State Highway Administration. Owner Charles A Jackson, who uses a wheelchair, defended his actions saying he helped residents and had lived there since the 1930s. He faces an appeal window of 30 days and possible contempt if he ignores the injunction.
