An Eagleville man was arrested on drug charges after a back alley altercation with a Phoenixville Police officer in the borough last week, the department is reporting.
According to court documents, on January 9 at approximately 10:45 p.m., an officer saw Chris Lance Jones Jr., 20, duck into an alley on the 200 block of Church Street. The officer approached Jones and asked if he lived there, to which the man answered “no”, before attempting to brush past the officer and leave the alley.
The officer told the man to stop, but he headed west on Church Street. The officer repeated his request, but the man just turned and headed east on Church Street.
As the man turned, he appeared, the officer wrote in the affidavit, to be holding a silver object in his right hand, which had been inside his jacket pocket.
The officer then reached for Jones’ arm as the man yelled, “Don’t touch me!”
The officer patted Jones down and found no weapon, but a small glass jar that contained what lab testing later confirmed was marijuana.
Chris Jones Jr. was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He faces preliminary hearing on February 14.
I don't. I kind of like my Guatemalan neighbors. They are quiet, hardworking, and keep to themselves. Only people who seem to have problems with them, are people who have no other reasons to have problems with them...well except unless they are just straight up bigoted. p.s. it's "immigration".
There's plenty of people in Phoenixville bars who don't know their limits. But 90% of the time when I see a fight spill out of 212 or Molly's, it's good ole' white folks doing the troublemaking.
Actually there are 11 million illegal immigrants in the US. The population of the United States stands at about 313 million. Just thought I'd throw that in. While it seems to some like all 11 million might be living on Prospect St, in fact there really aren't that many. Of all the illegals in Phoenixville, I wonder what the crime rate is when stacked against its total population. Hmmm?
Then why as Phoenixville named the number one emerging area in Philly? http://m.philly.curbed.com/archives/2013/01/15/the-philly-areas-top-three-emerging-neighborhoods-of-2013.php
