We have called and written Everett High School in the past, both the principal and a man named Jim who is supposed to be in charge of the students and how they behave. Basically, they have ignored me and the other people in the neighborhood.
There is a constant battle with graffiti and trash left behind by students. They have caused damage to buildings; they threaten residents if they try to get them to leave. They deal drugs right out in the open and have been caught having sex in people’s carports. People are afraid to try to go to their cars when the kids are around.
On Jan. 8, there was a problem again with the kids from Everett High. There were 20 or 30 kids in the parking lot at Welch’s Foods at 2230 Colby and in the alley; the police were finally called to disburse them.
On Thursday I found a girl laying in my carport vomiting; she said something about “he gave me too many pills.” I told them to get to hell out of there.
Something has to be done about these kids or the people in the neighborhood will take care of them themselves.
The people who live in this area down from the high school do not feel safe going to their own cars.
This has been going on for years and years and seems to get worse every year.
You should check it out between 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.; this is when most of the problems occur.
