Police Chief Tonnie Jones talked to the Aliceville City Council last Wednesday
night about ongoing problems in the trailer parks, including poor conditions
and a rise in crime.
Jones said there had been a shooting at Country Lane Trailer Park last week, in
which one person was grazed by a bullet and a second person ended up with
bullet fragments in their body. The following day, someone came by the same
residence and shot an unoccupied vehicle, added Jones.
Jones said one thing the Council needed was to address the upkeep of the trailer
parks. He said whenever a trailer is moved, garbage and debris are left behind.
Grass has grown up in some places. The Water Department has run into trouble
reading meters in the trailer parks because some residents have their pit
bulldogs tied next to the meters.
“What can the city do?” asked Jones.
McKinzey said he would call a meeting with the owners of the trailer parks, whom
he assumed still own both parks, and tell them what improvements they need to
make there.
