Officially Out of Business - Drug House Declaired a Nuisance

Press Release From Rowan County Sheriff's Office 

"660 Sides Rd Update - Nuisance Abatement Completed

Final Judgment Ordered in Rowan Nuisance Case
ROWAN COUNTY, N.C. –After prolonged and continuous criminal violations, drug overdose deaths, and community complaints, Rowan County Sheriff Travis Allen, working with North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement Division’s Nuisance Abatement Team filed a civil nuisance abatement action for the property located at 660 Sides Road, Salisbury. As a result of this joint law enforcement investigation, Superior Court Judge Penn Broyhill signed a Nuisance Abatement Consent Judgment and final order of abatement for this property.
This Judgment concluded a civil nuisance abatement investigation brought by the County of Rowan on behalf of the State of North Carolina. Chapter 19 of the North Carolina General Statutes defines nuisance activities, which include, in part, crimes involving drug laws, recurring violence, and breaches of the peace. Furthermore, it provides for a civil remedy to abate such criminal acts and their detrimental impacts on the community.

The terms of the Consent Judgment called for the property to remain vacant and be placed for sale with a licensed real estate broker within 30 days. The Judgment also forged an agreement detailing the future intended use of the property, which forbids future nuisance related activities on the property. Additionally, all trespassers who go upon the property will be arrested and criminally charged.
“I appreciate the cooperation from the property owner and community members as we continue working together in Rowan County to ensure our communities and citizens are safe. I hope this successful resolution assists with restoring peace to this community,” said Allen."
