Jerie Reaves lives on Vincent Street and said when she woke up Wednesday, she saw several police cars at two houses down the road from her home. Two neighbors said they noticed officers in the area when they were leaving for work around 4:30 Wednesday morning.
Reaves said she had no idea there was a federal investigation happening down the street. She said both ends of Vincent Street were completely blocked off to the public.
“It was a lot of people out walking around the neighborhood but we couldn’t come down the street,” said Reaves.
She said her neighborhood is typically quiet and it doesn’t see a lot of police activity, however Reaves said she has seen officers in the area before.
“Earlier this summer we had a home invasion here at one of those houses,” Reaves said.
