From a CBS 6 report:
“I’ve been working here for over 20 years, and to see something like this is terrible. It’s terrible, ” said William Johnson.
Long time employee William Johnson tells CBS 6, the owner has a zero drug policy in the shop. But admits there’s problems in the neighborhood.
“We are clean free and drug free. And we just come to work to work,” said Johnson. “It’s bad for business.”
Detectives on Friday told Jones that the raid resulted after a two-month investigation that was prompted by tips and complaints from the community. If you catch the bus, work near, or walk the stretch of Broad Street between 1st and 3rd streets, this news is unlikely to surprise you.
