The neighborhood around the Meadows at Ferguson Apartment complex was different Friday according to the landlord after police activity Thursday at businesses just outside the complex.
Drug dealers typically posted along Ferguson Road west of I-635 LBJ Freeway just inside the Dallas City limits were nowhere to be seen Friday.
Complex owner Hudson Henley, a Dallas Attorney, hired his own military style security for the complex that he and his brother purchased a year ago.
He said there’s been little support from police in the past.
“I’m very encouraged. This is exactly what needs to be done,” Henley said. “The guys are out there, obviously out there selling drugs. It’s no secret. The police know about it. Just go get them.”
Police would not discuss the nature of the activity Thursday but security guard Keith Hemphill who works for the two businesses outside the complex agreed things were different Friday.
“It’s better. It’s quiet. It’s peaceful. Everybody’s like a neighborhood. It’s quiet since yesterday,” Hemphill said.
