Police were sent to help a man get his belongings from a residence in the 2300 block of Elmwood. The 30-year-old said his stuff was in the house, but his 56-year-old dad and 26-year-old brother would not let him in to get them because they had kicked him out two weeks ago. He said he has tried unsuccessfully several times to get his property; he also said dad had the locks changed to keep him out. The officer spoke with the younger brother, who said dad was at work. The officer called the dad and told him the police were there to get the sons’s things; they received permission to enter. Then the older son said he owned a trailer and wanted it too. At this the younger brother objected, saying the trailer was filled with tools belonging to him and the father, and the older brother could not have it until it was emptied. Police advised the older brother not to return without a police escort, and not to enter the residence at all since he had already retrieved his stuff.
