To Chad Patillo's mother: You sat in our office last Friday and told us with a straight face that there was no way that your son (our tenant) could possibly be dealing drugs. The reason you said this was because our secretary mentioned the excessive number of people coming and going from his apartment at all hours and suggested perhaps that maybe he was doing something he shouldn't. We'd been getting complaints, see, is why we mentioned it to you. You made the cute joke that if he were dealing drugs, he'd have the money to pay the rent all at once instead of in payments. (Btw, that isn't very true for what I know of drug dealers. I have never met a drug dealer who actually had any fucking money. Every drug dealer I've ever met has lived in excruciating poverty and filth.) At any rate, I want you to know that your credibilty on that front went to hell when we saw the front page of the paper today. There was a nice article (with pictures) about the fairly large drug dealer bust that rounded up a dozen or so of the county's alleged illicit pharmaceutical purveyors, including your son, our tenant.

PS: Since he isn't caught up on the rent and since we figure they ain't gwan be no mo' rent money since his ass is in jail for being an alleged crack dealer, we've filed to execute the order for possession that we got at the not-paying-the-rent hearing you and your son attended about a month ago. Before the constable comes to change the locks, it'd be real nice if you could show up with a letter from your son authorizing you to pack up his shit and store it while he's in jail so that we don't have to pack up his shit and store it while he's in jail.

That was quite the bust. It was very disappointing though, that there weren't more heroin dealers/addicts/etc, on the list. In fact, maybe I missed it, but I didn't see any heroin busts, unless they were among the ones they didn't give too many details about toward the end of the article.

It was also disappointing that they nailed someone for weed. That particular girl is a "friend of a friend of a friend" sort of thing, and I'm told that she had quite a small amount. The thing was, she had two different varieties, and kept them separated, and thus they slapped her with a "possesion with intent to distribute" (or something like that, I forget the exact wording). She's definitely no dealer. Of course, I still wonder how she got caught with it in the first place, from a routine traffic stop. Must have been really stupid about concealing it. Oh well...

So much for this area being one of the places that's easing up on shmoke. Meanwhile, smackheads are still running rampant, and it really pisses me off.

I was also interested to note that there wasn't anybody mentioned for heroin. I still know people doing the stuff and they've got to be getting it from *somewhere*, the poor bastards.

The lady in Bingham's office with us (there was a substantial queue in there while we were waiting to file on Mr. Patillo following the news of his arrest) noted that folks in the Fishertown area were really not that into heroin these days. She stated that meth was really the drug of choice out there at the moment. I didn't think that heroin was the sort of thing you could just stop being into...
