A MAN who turned his high-rise flat into a drug den for addicts and prostitutes has been evicted and banned from the area. Residents living in Alpha House in Barras Green, Coventry, said they were afraid to leave their homes because of Gary Paxton’s activities. They were so sick of sharing their homes with low-lives that they joined the police in providing damning evidence of what was going on to the courts. Magistrates granted police a three-month crack house closure order - meaning anyone who enters the flat without permission will be arrested. Pc Dawn Murkett led the operation to close the drugs den. She said: “Mr Paxton and his visitors were a real nuisance for other tenants. “At all times of the day and night there was rowdy behaviour which was really frightening for the many elderly and disabled residents who live in the block. “The result was that most were too scared to leave their homes and when they did, they were often intimidated by the presence of drug addicts and prostitutes.”
