James Jordan Sr., a Brooklyn, N.Y., security guard, died from diabetes in 2006. Eight years later, the New York Police Department is finally willing to let him rest in peace.
The New York Post reports that police have ransacked Jordan Sr.’s family home more than a dozen times since his death, demanding to see him over some outstanding arrest warrants for undisclosed offenses. Karen Jordan, his widow, said there were four NYPD visits this year alone. She taped his death certificate to the front door, to no avail. Only after the family filed a federal lawsuit did police officials agree to erase the warrants from their system. Ugo Uzoh, the family’s attorney, told the Post that he was pleased by the department’s actions but the family still intends to pursue the suit. — Richard Binder
