Re: False Alarm? No... Wrong Address.

When we first bought our house, we were going to remodel some before we moved in. We had about a month to get everything completed and moved. Late one afternoon, around dusk, we were about to wrap up for the day when I noticed IPD officers in the back yard, guns at ready. My wife yells that there are police in the front yard also. Fortunately I had my weapon in with my jacket and not on me so there was no confusion there. Anyway, when they came to the back door, (it was open) they asked us to get on our knees with fingers interlocked behind our heads. After they saw we were not armed and actually working in the house, they allowed me to show them our closing papers which we had left in the house.

Come to find out, the gut that lived there before was a big time drug dealer. They showed us his picture and guess I didn't fit his description of long black hair, long black beard (duck dynasty type) skinny and face all tattoo'd up. Her I am tall fat man with short gray hair and no beard (at the time). Over the course of the next year, we had several visits from Dallas County Sheriffs, Constables and IPD looking for this guy. They all said not much we could do as it was his last know address but over time, they either got to know us or they caught the guy because after the first year, no more visits.

After they left, we decided to completely tear out all of the sheet rock (I had wanted to do this anyway to insulate the walls) and we found several stashes of his drugs in nice little hiding spots. Called IPD a couple of times to retrieve them. Funny, the guy left his drugs but took his money :confused5
