Crack house threat dogs Emporia area near school and college
In Emporia a near college and elementary school crack house attracts police focus and neighbor complaints. The dwelling, not a rental, draws drug arrests and search warrants despite residents and police noting no one is charged for drug violations at the home itself. Local officials have closed other drug houses but struggle to shut this one. Neighbors say the property lowers nearby home values as it remains a party shack with curbside crack service.
