'Commuter drug dealer' ban on table in L.A.

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

The L.A. City Attorney's Office has announced a criminal injunction targeting "commuter dealers" who come into downtown from other parts of town to sell drugs. It would ban 80 drug dealers from entering skid row, and would allow prosecutors to ban up to 300 additional dealers who police identify in the future.

According to Peter Shutan, the deputy city attorney, the 80 men and women already identified are affiliated with 31 gangs and have come to a "mutual understanding" to forgo rivalries and share business.

Critics say that some of the people included in the injunction may be addicts themselves who sell drugs to support their own habits.  The ban still requires a judge's OK.
