A sign condemning drugs that was placed outside of a low-income housing development in Celina Wednesday has been removed.
It read “To drug dealers and dope heads, this is not Amsterdam, this is Celina Tennessee. We will put you in jail.” Attorney Jeff Jones represents Highlands Residential Services which owns the property where the sign was placed.
Jones said it was installed without the housing authority’s permission
“As it turns out, we determined that it was installed at the direction of the mayor of the city of Celina,” Jones said. “It is our understanding that the sign has since been removed, and quite frankly, that’s all that we really know of about the situation.”
Celina Mayor Luke Collins has yet to confirm if the sign was placed by the city after several attempts for comment. Jones said that any further legal action is likely not necessary now that the sign was removed.
