In
Arizona A 42-year-old man was sentenced to 15 years in prison on
Meth-related charges. The defendant pleaded guilty to two counts of
possessing Meth with intent to distribute, one count of possession of a
firearm during a drug-trafficking crime and one count of a felon in
possession of a firearm. He was arrested twice in 2005, both times
following a traffic stop where he was found to have Meth in his
possession. In the second incident, he also had a 9mm pistol.
In
Ontario, Canada A 34-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of Meth
possession and sales Monday. He was picked up during an investigation
into Meth distribution, and is
allegedly a large-scale Meth dealer.
In
Arizona A
deputy noticed a 39-year-old man sitting behind the wheel in his truck
backed up to a hill alongside a highway and stopped to check on his well
being. The man claimed he was just resting, but the deputy saw a
rolled-up $5 bill inside the truck. The deputy questioned him about the
bill and asked to inspect it. When he unrolled the bill, he discovered a
white powdery residue. The suspect was taken into custody for possession
of drug paraphernalia and a search of his truck turned up a small bag of
Meth hidden beneath the driver's seat and a credit card with white powder
residue on top of the center console of the truck. The deputy also found
a marijuana cigarette in the ashtray and a plastic film canister
containing marijuana on the floorboards.In
Texas The 21-year-old mother of an infant that tested positive for
Meth admitted to using the drug the day the stimulant was found in the
baby’s system. The woman is battling to get the 8-month-old boy and her
20-month-old daughter returned to her care. She did admit to being a Meth
addict but is vowing to quit her habit. The state took custody of her
babies after the boy became sick and tested positive for a high level of
Meth. Originally, police suspected the child’s grandmother, but the baby’s
mother said she and the baby's uncle brought Meth into the home and
possibly dropped some of the powder where the youngster could get to it.
The state will keep the two children while Child Protective Services case
workers check into other family members willing to take them. The state
said they would also arrange for drug treatment for their mother. . She
is six-months pregnant with her third child.
