Feds nix plan to sell Detroit houses tied to drugs (AP)

Posted: 04 Dec 2008 03:09 AM CST

A foreclosed low-rise apartment complex is seen in Detroit on Friday, Nov. 14, 2008. Federal prosecutors twice pursued a former autoworker who was suspected of running a multimillion-dollar drug operation. The first attempt fizzled when Clarence Carson died shortly after an indictment. And the second? Blame it on the collapse of Detroit's miserable real-estate market. The government recently abandoned a plan to sell nearly three dozen properties believed to have been acquired by Carson through heroin, marijuana and cocaine sales. Like any seller, the U.S. Marshals Service, which is in charge of getting rid of assets grabbed by the Justice Department, is finding that location is the key to real estate these days.
