Guy arrested for threatening to slit woman's throat

Comment Up

Residing at a substance abuse halfway house, this guy was just arrested for wielding a knife and threatening another house member. This is why we have a lot of reservations regarding these types of houses. Read about it...

How many of these halfway houses are there in our Lake Worth neighborhoods?

I don't recall it ever being mentioned at any city commission meeting. I would imagine that the city knows just by the business licenses on file. Just another thing they don't want to talk or tell us about. When these rehab or sober houses come into an area residential neighborhood, the neighborhood needs to be informed.

Horrendous, and City doesn't seem to care bit. They could curb these sober houses by enforcing our perfectly legal short term rental law, but they refuse to do so. Why?

My guess--totally petrified of law suits even when they are RIGHT!

Who owned this halfwayhouse, has there been problems there before?.

I do not know who is in charge of this residence but I have heard there have been no incidents there and they have been relatively quiet.
