DRUG SEIZURES SUGGEST SWITCH
The Police Department Narcotics Enforcement Unit in 2006 seized 7,671
marijuana plants, 6.6 pounds of processed marijuana, 383.8 grams of
crystal methamphetamine and 12.5 pounds of cocaine.
The information suggests that cocaine was becoming more common in the
drug trade than ice, said police Sgt. Mike Contrades, addressing the
county's 2007 Drug Summit.
He cited "strong enforcement efforts by federal, state and local law
enforcement, harsher penalties and stricter regulations on cold
medicine products that provide the basic ingredients for manufacturing
methamphetamine."
