Last week, the State of Alabama Court of Civil Appeals upheld the condemnation of a home on Snead Street and more than $18,000. The house is expected to be sold and the funds used to provide operating expenses for the 22nd Judicial Drug Task Force.
In October, the county learned that the Drug Task Force would not receive funding from an ADECA grant as it had in the past.
During an October meeting of the DTF board, District Attorney Walt Merrell suggested that the group use asset forfeiture money that was fully adjudicated for things such as rent.
Merrell said he would not disclose how much money was in that fund.
