Warren’s Mayor says he is fighting to deter heroin users and dealers from coming to the city. Mayor Jim Fouts recently ordered the seizure of a home where residents were selling heroin, and now faces a settlement conference over the future of the property. He says he, as well as the police commissioner, have been ordered to attend.
“The Judge is insisting on some kind of a settlement, but I don’t know how we can agree to a settlement when a person has turned a residential home into a drug house. I don’t know how we can have anything but zero tolerance for that.”
Fouts says he wants to send a message that if a person comes to Warren to buy or use heroin, they will be arrested, prosecuted and convicted. He says the court will decide the future of the seized property tomorrow.
