HTN: Safety Concerns for Mayor Brown
Police say they are concerned about the safety of Mayor Byron Brown. Concerns are rooted in a search warrant executed in November at a home on Breckenridge Street. For the first time, the authorities are talking about the search. Syaed Ali was taken into custody and his cell phone, computer, and personal documents were taken. The safety concerns are considered to be "very serious." Ali maintains he did nothing wrong and that the police move was ordered by Brown because of a political dispute where, quote, "he made the mayor really mad." Ali still has not been charged. He has filed a claim against the city to get his things back. Police say Ali still could face aggravated harassment and criminal impersonation charges.
