NAACP & Police To Speak In Frederick Neighborhood

Representatives of the Frederick County NAACP and the Frederick Police Department plan to meet Wednesday evening with members of Frederick's North Crossing community to discuss their complaints about threats and harassment.

NAACP President Guy Djoken says he has heard recently from minority residents that their neighbors told them they don't belong in the neighborhood. Djoken says he wants to assure people that their rights will be protected.

North Crossing Homeowners Association president Mike Foster says trouble began in the neighborhood after the city tore down some Section 8 housing and the displaced residents moved to North Crossing.

He says some homeowners have reported being threatened by the newcomers.
