10 RESIDENTS INDICTED IN METHAMPHETAMINE BUST
SACRAMENTO -Ten area residents were indicted on federal charges of
importing a candy-like form of methamphetamine called "Ya Ba."
Federal authorities said the arrests on Monday are the first significant
bust involving the pills, which are imported from Thailand and Laos and are
gaining favor among young adults and teens.
U.S. Customs Service agents said the flavored, chewable pills have gained
popularity on the West Coast but haven't yet hit the mainstream drug scene.
