Woman Says Her Drug Dealer, AKA Her Nephew, Stole Her $40, Say Police

Norristown police responded to a drug-related complaint and found a seemingly intoxicated woman who said that her drug dealer, aka her nephew, had stolen her $40, according to a police report. 

On Dec. 21 around 6:31 p.m. police went to see about the complaint in the area of East Chestnut Street and Green Street in Norristown and encountered a woman identified as Viola Jones, who one officer described as being quite intoxicated.

Jones claimed that neighbors were giving refuge to her drug dealer, who was also her nephew, and who allegedly stole $40 from her, according to the Norristown police report. Jones was screaming at the neighbors.

Jones, whose screaming caused a disturbance that people nearby came over to investigate, smelled of alcohol and spoke incoherently. Neighbors said that she attempted to come into their home without permission, say police.

Her family was allowed to take her away in a vehicle but some minutes later she returned on foot. Police then arrested her for persistent disorderly conduct and public drunkenness.
