Columbus Officials Temporarily Close Alleged West Side Drug House

Columbus city officials have temporarily closed a suspected drug distribution house on the west side. 

The City Attorney's office says in a news release the home in the 100 block of Midland Avenue is near two elementary schools and a youth center, and supplied large amounts of heroin and cocaine to various drug houses in the area. The city goes back to court March 8 for a permantent injunction hearing.
