Grandpa still slinging. Momma why is grandpa in jai?

In the past (2011)… (from TS Times Webpage)
—
Police arrested a 35-year-old Eureka man and confiscated 42 grams of suspected black tar heroin in 14 individual baggies during a parole search on the 3200 block of Pine Street on Thursday.
When investigators with the Eureka Police Department knocked on Joshua Scott Vandyke’s door at 1:45 p.m., he refused to open the door and ran into the bathroom, according to police. Detectives forced the door open, entered the residence and detained Vandyke. The police department’s Problem Oriented Policing Unit was acting on information that Vandyke was selling heroin
.
In addition to the suspected heroin, detectives also seized $480 in suspected drug sales proceeds, a digital gram scale and drug use paraphernalia. According to the police department, Vandyke may have been weighing out and packaging heroin when investigators arrived.
Had a feeling this wasn’t his first rodeo! 🤠
Possession of fentynal for sale should be charged as attempted murder
Should be charged with a weapon of mass destruction that much of that shit can kill more people than pound of C4.
2 milligrams of fentanyl is considered to be a lethal dose (ymmv),
means there are 500 lethal doses in a kilogram or 500/2.2, about 227 lethal doses in a pound of fentanyl.
Whoops, 227 lethal doses in 1 gram, not kg. So that means 227,000 lethal doses in pound.
500 lethal doses in gram, not 227
Exactly pisses me off, the state says i can’t legally carry magazine that holds more than 10 rounds to protect my self and loved ones but shitstains like this can walk around with enough shit to wipe out a city and be out in time for cheerios, interesting time we live in.
If you seriously want change, vote republican across the board in 2024 or expect more of the same.
Uh….try that again with a calculator. There are 1000mg in a gram. And 1000 grams in a kilogram.
Thanks to the surveillance balloon, another dealer off the streets.
…for 10 minutes.
A local serving the local community’s demand and poisoning them in the process. Sickening.
No cash? Hmmm
He was dealing drugs before. He may have been smart enough to not keep the cash, accounts receivable notebook (etc.) with the drugs… or he is working for the cartel, and they are ‘handling’ the cash.
We really need more Dope. There are still a handful of non addicts. Send hunter to mexico to make a deal for more. And 10 % for the big guy. But no mean tweets. Thats where we draw the line
What’s the customer base for the fentanyl. Does that supply exceed the demand?
The “customer base” is humanity. So far, humanity’s supply has never outstripped humanity’s demand. For a current, sober, and holding -nothing-back documenting of the subject, consider reading “The Least of Us: True Tales of America and Hope In the Time of Fentanyl and Meth” by Sam Quinones.
Reminds me of Uncle Fester.
Mad dogging the camera will most assuredly make the cops think twice before they arrest you again!
