I wonder how many lives that dog just saved-or at least prolonged till another load comes to town.

Possibly less than the amount of lives that could be lost due to addicts not getting what their body needs to function. Overdosing is not the only reason addicts die,underdosing can be just as, if not more, fatal. The “war on Drugs” is a joke, an expensive joke. If it didn’t exist this guy would have no incentive to bring 2 lbs of heroin into your comminity.

Detoxing from Heroin will not kill you, although addicts may feel like they’re dying at times during withdrawal. Depending on the level of addiction, Alcohol and Barbituates are the two drugs that will kill you if taken away suddenly.

Other than body organs of long term heroin addicts failing to function if they are deprived of some form of opiate that isn’t gradual, illnesses such as pneumonia become life threatening (you ever known a heroin addict to have a cold or the flu?). I don’t know the statistics on heroin addict suicides but having witnessed addicts suffering from withdrawals I’d bet that plenty of addicts have committed suicide due to withdrawals.

He was also charged with impersonating Simon Cowell from American Idol. Seriously tho, just think how much gets by unnoticed. And holy smokes, you can’t even legally fabricate a false compartment anymore.

I guess I’m not the only one that thought Simon Cowell must be on hard times if he has to sling dope. At least that’s what I was thinking when I first saw the thumbnail.

I think this is a great bust and everyone involved should be commended. However, one thing is bothering me greatly: when did the DA’s Office become a member of primary law enforcement? Doesn’t this somewhat remove their objectivity, having their own ‘agent’ and K9 make the bust? I suppose the Charging Deputy would just rubberstamp cases imvolving their office? Leave the primary enforcement to the various agencies and get back to doing what you’re supposed to – determine what charges, if any, are appropriate to file and tie up loose ends in the case. DA personnel running around with ARs and tac gear on is strange. Again, awesome bust!

That’s one of the main problems, no one knows their job description. Nevertheless, these Mother Lovers need locked-up. Ditto on the awesome bust.

DA’s have their own investigators for a reason.

IF he was in our country illegally, would it be included in the press release?
