Sacramento Escorts: The struggle for Weber Square
It is the busiest moment of any day for the park, whose residents have all but abandoned it as crime has moved in. Following the shooting at Weber Square on Oct. 2 of a 16-year-old boy, City Councilwoman Susan Eggman called for a series of meetings between residents of the neighborhood and police officials. At the first of those meetings, held in mid-October at the Stockton Unified School District main office – two blocks east and one block north of the park – a city employee stood outside the building and warned people not to park on the street. Your car is likely to be broken into, he said.
Inside, Eggman, Deputy Police Chief Eric Jones and SUSD Police Chief Jim West, among others, sounded out residents, who complained of mischief at the park, irresponsible landlords and city neglect.
“There has been gambling, drugs, prostitution,” Jones said. “We’re going to stay here, and we’re going to make it safer.”
