The activity continued after the raid when police witnessed visitors making frequent and short visits to the house, according to reports.

“(The property) serves as a criminal drug trafficking place and thus interferes with the comfortable enjoyment of life, health and safety of others in the surrounding neighborhood,” Malott wrote.

Since 2012, police have arrested a man after a high-speed chase that began at the duplex and arrested other visitors for drug offenses and on warrants, and Marshall has been arrested for drug possession, according to Malott’s statement.

Building inspectors cited Marshall in April for failing to install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and railings, and for not repairing plumbing. He also was cited in November for failing to register his rental property with the city.

Marshall owes $14,694 in back taxes on the property, according to court records.

He refuses to cooperate with police and other city officials, evading certified letters threatening legal action if he didn’t abate drug activity at his property and failing to appear for scheduled meetings.

Marshall, who lives at 1418 S. 10th St., No. 301, took over the rental property from his late father.
