Heroin takes staggering toll in Connersville

From the article:
CONNERSVILLE, Ind. –
20 days. 20 overdoses. 5 deaths.
But the police chief has not seen anything like the rash of overdoses and deaths reported in the just the past few weeks.
“It’s getting really out of hand and we’re spinning our wheels,” Counceller said. “We can put [drug users] in jail, but as soon as they get out, they’ll be back at it. We’ve been accused of not doing enough, but we don’t have a magic wand. The people involved in this stuff have to want to get help.”
Connersville residents tell Eyewitness News the heroin currently circulating in their community is reportedly laced with rat poison or drain cleaner – making an already potent drug even more dangerous.
The police chief says he has heard the same reports.
“I can’t confirm that, but I can tell you they’re mixing that crap with everything you can imagine,” Counceller said. “The drug dealers don’t care what’s in it.”
Here’s a NEW FLASH for Police Chief David Counceller these “drug abusers” have a disease… mostly mental health issues.. throwing their asses in jail .. will accomplish nothing.. all you do is keep the opiate “merry-go-round” going around in circles.
Giddy-up !
