A drug peddler's paradise. That's how police described this residence in King's Park, but the people living there, the people selling the drugs don't think the name fits. Over a dozen adults and children live there, and it's also where you can buy small quantities of weed. You may also remember it as the place where the Prime Minister's niece, Candice Anderson was shot.
Over time, several of the adult residents have been arrested and charged for drug trafficking, but they say the $10,000 fine and three years in prison makes no sense, especially when they've never been busted with more than a quarter pound of weed. We spoke to Harlee Kelly, one of the residents today, and she explained why the constant police presence at their home borders on harassment...
While Kelly acknowledges the illegality of her family's weed peddling, she argues that the punishment should fit the crime, and stresses that it makes no sense for the members of her family to be charged such a large sum, for such a small amount of weed.
