Residents in Augusta Protest Drug Activity

Residents of an Augusta neighborhood took to the streets on Independence Day to protest drug activity and irresponsible property owners they blame for much of the problem. About 20 residents and property owners marched Saturday against what they claim are deadbeat landlords and drug-peddling tenants dragging down the Harrisburg community. Sheriff's deputies keeping a watchful eye on protestors from their patrol cars, as the marchers carried signs reading, "Dope Kills Kids," "Lazy Land Lords", "Drugs, Crime," and "Corridor of Shame."
