I've been living across the street from him for almost 2 years. I don't have evidence,
but I have seen many people coming in and out all day, all hours of the night, stay a minute and leave. Some live here and walk over, and some drive in. There is the usual booming stereo noise, but I've never heard gunshots. I'm still nervous that the man is dangerous.
It seems to be a drug commune around here - there are other male residents, friends of his, who don't work, and they all share cars. I never see any kind of welfare people coming around. One of them clearly is his delivery man - one recent Sunday he was coming in and out all afternoon, blasting his stereo very very loud.
I think it would be very hard to talk to the neighbors without them knowing about it.
The drug dealer seems to overhear, or hear about, everything that goes on between the 2 buildings that we live in.
I can't go to his landlord, because we have the same landlord, and the research I've been doing indicates that landlords are often in on it. he was going to evict that guy, then changed his mind (why I don't know), and he hasn't been around here since.
And now, there are a couple of 15 year old boys (friends of his) that he now has working for him. I heard them talking about selling drugs to people on Saturday night. Seems to me a man who would use 15 year old boys as drug dealers is somebody to be nervous about...
The boys are a real problem for me, because now they are hanging out in my stairwell area every day - due to having become friends with some new teenagers who moved in. There's a history there of vandalism and threats of violence, but I didn't know they were dealing drugs until this weekend.
I'm wondering if the drug dealer might be an informant, because I recently found out the security guard once called the police on him for the noise problem, and the officer didn't even give the security guard an event number. Just a slap on the wrist for the drug dealer. (The security guard doesn't know yet that he's a drug dealer, but is starting to figure it out.)
If the guy is an informant, am I SOL with this situation? I've seen patrol cars hiding behind the trash bins on the road leading into mine, several times.
So what can I do? What kind of evidence do I need to collect before going to the police? I don't know if I can even do that safely.
TIA for your thoughts
