Jerry is right in some ways. She does have a sickness and has been in prison before. Someone had said before that you could get drugs in prison. She needs help to get rid of her addictions and prison will punish her but it won't help her dug problem.
Jerry-- she cant work due to medical issues, but she is able to travel to columbus to put 60 balloons of heroin up her self.. she sounds pretty able to work to me.. quit living off of taxpayers -- to bad they cant tax the drugs that are on the streets..lol
alll you people on here talking about this and that you don't know her she is and always will be a good person she just got herself into things that she shouldnt have she can't work for medical reasons so yeah she may have been supporting her habit but she was supporting other things dear to her as well so dont judge some one when you know absoulty nothing about themstacy keep your head up girl we are praying for you may you get them help that you need for your condidtion since our state didnt want to help with the medical issues mabye now they will have to!!!! I will pray for you in all aspects these people like to judge but if they only knew the real you they wouldnt be so quick to jump the gun
I guess all those people who had said during the sex scandal that the sheriff should resign can shut up know. Ther are still good cops out there. they may have just saved someone you know from overdosing. I had a family member who overdosed at 23 years old. It could be anyones kid. I wish they would have gotten that shipment before it hit the street. GOOD JOB SHERIFF MINCKS STICK WITH IT DON'T QUIT!
I always thought they got heroin from the poppy plant but now I see it's extracted from "crack"!
Who is responsible for extracting these balloons? That would be a "crappy" job!
If the cops have intelligence information then why can't they figure out where all these people are getting this from? Don't they have snitches anymore? The people in Marietta are the little people the big guys aren't here. I don't think it will ever stop. How many bust have we already had around here there seems to always be someone else to take their place. Some repeatedly get arrested but snitch and stay on the street to do it all again. Put the users in rehab or something and the sellers will be out of business!!!!! When people get busted and snitch they should atleast have to complete a drug program. Don't let them off scott free to repeat history. I had a neighbor that told us once she would't ever go to prison because she works as an informant. I guess she was right I have seen her name several times in the news and she hasn't went yet. Makes you wonder how it all works!
Haven't you people ever taked to anyone in to drugs. How the heck do you think they get drugs into jail? NEWS FLASH THEY HAVE A PROBLEM THEY SWAP BLOOD WHEN THEY SHARE NEEDLES. So why are you all so suprised? Watch channel 43 when LOCKED UP is on you will here and see thing you never imagined.
I hope to god they put her somewhere to get help. Prison is punishment but she could still get drugs in prison. Then she will be back on the street to repeat this all over again. She needs serious help to get clean and stay clean. She has a sickness that needs to be treated. SHE needs punished but she also needs help. If we stop the addictions maybe it will stop the demand.
To: mynamehere/PBurg. The police had a canine with them and it alerted the police to the drugs, then she admitted where the drugs were actually at. Also, to a few posters...does it really matter about the size of the balloons - it is such a stupid thing to do. She could have died of an overdose had the balloons ruptured. They reported she probably bought them for roughly $10 each and was bringing them back here and would probably sell for $50 to help support her habit. Regardless, it's good that at least this much of that "poison" is off the streets.
to myname here... noone said she was smart lol
The "balloons" in question vary from size. from a quarter inch to one and a half inches. Im curious why she gave them the info in the first place?! If she was stopped for a traffic violation, why did she just up and spill the beans to the cops?
Wow, just WOW! And WHY?! I have to say, I'm happy to see at least that shipment off the streets.
MUST HAVE ONE HECK OF A CAVITY......
Good!!! I cant stand to see someone be so dilusional that they would put drugs in their body cavities instead of his or her pockets... I hope she can find help or God!!
