In an unrelated incident, city resident Ciara Stewart called 9-1-1 when her landlord, who is also her aunt, allegedly kicked her out last Saturday evening, even though Stewart was up on her rent.

Stewart told the reporting SPD officer Sunday that her aunt had called her, told her she owed her money, and told her to “get her stuff out”. Stewart said that even though she had paid her $300 rent on the first of the month, she returned home to find that her aunt had thrown her belongings onto the lawn of the Y St. property.

Stewart was advised to take up the issue in magistrate court.
