« Willamette Week: The Scatological Paper of Note | Main | Matt's Sweet Serenade »
The City Attorney’s office has filed suit against the “Mad House” in NE that we wrote a story on in November. The Howard family, who live in the house, claimed neighborhood complaints against them were the result of racial discrimination, and have continued to speak out against their possible eviction. But here’s some of city’s suit:
September 30: “two females exposed their genitalia and urinated, in front of two males, on the driveway…”
October 5:”approximately 15 arbor vitae trees, on a neighbor’s property, were cut down and left as stumps”
October 15:”at around three in the morning a group of approximately 25 people spilled from [the property] where loud profane name calling, unreasonable noise, and violent tumultuous behavior such as fighting took place. A back window of a parked car was smashed, the tires were slashed, and the side was kicked in and dented.”
October 22: “two young persons exposed their genitals and were engaged in sexual intercourse in, or in view of, a public place;”
November 1: “A spoon with heroin residue, a glass crack pipe, and a metal cup with heroin residue were found” at the house.On top of the alleged tree-chopping, public pissing and shagging, tire slashing and heroin residue-er,..-ing, the suit also makes two assault allegations, one alleging a neighbor’s neck was grabbed from behind after asking for some music to be turned down, and another alleging that another woman was “struck repeatedly in the face.”
A call to the Howards’ attorney for comment is yet to be returned.
