SF sues Tenderloin convenience store over alleged drug sales behind the counter
"There was an undercover Department of Public Health inspector who went in, and we discovered they were selling illegal tobacco products, which led us to think there was more that was going on. And I want to thank the San Francisco Police Department for then sending officers in to discover the methamphetamine, the illegal tobacco products, cannabis, a ghost gun, drug paraphernalia,"
"In a civil lawsuit, the City Attorney's Office accuses the owners and operators of allowing "the sales, storage and possession of controlled substances." The complaint also alleges the store drew constant activity from drug dealers lingering out front and "attracting large groups of drug users to this area.""
"Chiu said his office has asked a judge to close the store. "We have gone to court to ask the judge to shut down this site for a year to ensure that there's a permanent order against any future activities like this," he said."
"According to Chiu, his office has successfully sued or forced the closure of 13 other businesses in the past year and a half, all located in the neighborhood described as the center of the cit"
San Francisco’s city attorney is seeking to shut down a convenience store in the Tenderloin for one year. Police and the city attorney’s office tracked incidents of theft, vandalism, and physical altercations around the Eddy Street store for about three years. An undercover Department of Public Health inspector found illegal tobacco products, leading investigators to believe other illegal activity was occurring. A subsequent raid uncovered methamphetamine, illegal tobacco products, cannabis, a ghost gun, and drug paraphernalia. A civil lawsuit alleges the owners and operators allowed sales, storage, and possession of controlled substances, and that the store attracted drug dealers and large groups of drug users outside. The city attorney asked a judge for a year-long closure to prevent future activity.
