Siblings at odds: Police said a disturbance initially reported Thursday as a robbery ended up being a property dispute involving two men who claimed they lived in a house owned by their shared sister, who is in jail. Police said one of the men came after he was himself released from jail to find the house “in squalor and disarray (with) the electric shut off” and two brand new outfits and a pair of shoes in their original packaging that he’d left in a first-floor closet missing. He said his sister’s half-brother had been “in and out of the residence while he was away and bringing (alleged) junkies and persons of ill repute” to the residence.” The other man denied taking the items but did confirm there had been “multiple people in and out of the residence.” Police advised the two to “settle up with the missing (items) and…figure out their living arrangements.”
