Clinton County, IN - 2nd meth lab in two days
Published May 30th, 2007 in Meth in the News and Busted. 0 CommentsThe title they chose for the article is “Honesty is meth suspect’s undoing,” but I’m not so sure that’s true. Honesty might have made the arrest go more smoothly and might help at sentencing time. It will probably save him some time. Fresh out of prison, Brent Krout decided to play it straight with the cops. Except for the part where he was cooking meth. Story at Journal and Courier Online.
Interesting, this jurisdiction has enhanced penalties for not only producing meth with children in the house (common sense), but for protecting the house with surveillance. Right on! Granite City Press-Record.
Nevada ready to try anti-meth bill again
Published May 28th, 2007 in Meth in the News and Legislation. 0 CommentsThe measure that failed last week limited sales of meth ingredients, made buyers sign a log book, and charged a fee for convenience stores to sell and log the stuff. The new “common sense” bill says screw it, convenience stores can’t sell it at all. Pharmacies only, log all sales, and no fee for participation. Betcha a dollar it passes this time. Las Vegas Sun has the story.
The Media is all over the candy meth story - Strawberry Quick, they’re calling it. They are claiming dealers are trying to market meth to a younger audience. They’re so, so wrong there.
They’re trying to market it to regular slacker teens and twenty-somethings who think the regular taste is gross.
Dumbass media.
… and makes your hair unruly. Faces of Meth.
Lexington, KY - Three Busted For Turning Hotel into Meth Lab
Published May 28th, 2007 in Busted. 0 CommentsThey keep getting busted, and they don’t get any smarter. Meth stinks, folks. Why would you do it AROUND OTHER PEOPLE? Story courtesy of Kentucky.com. Oh, it was a Hampton Inn. I guess regular Hampton Inn dwellers wouldn’t know what meth smells like anyway. They probably thought it was just some dirty foreigner.
Denver Post has the story. I guess if you’re going to learn how to do it, you should learn how to do it right. I wonder if they teach the MacGuyver method — leave one critical step out, so if you try it yourself, you burn up and die.
Meth is the drug of choice in Hawaii. More arrestees test positive for meth than for marijuana or cocaine. This probably doesn’t mean that more people USE meth than marijuana or cocaine, but that meth users are more likely to do something stupid and get arrested. ParentingTeens.About.com
But that’s only half the story. Cops raided a motel, and apparently it was infested with meth-dealing, baby popping degenerates. After all was said and done, SEVENTEEN children were in state custody!!! StatesmanJournal has the full story.
