The LPD report notes that additional charges are expected to be filed.
America's drug war has an affect in many americans when the drug war should be focused on corporate drugs, The only sensible solution is to quit destroying people's lives over Marijuana which grows naturally out of the ground, The real war should be on the corporate drugs that doctor's unwittingly push on kids...
Let's find out how many of you police officers that stormed the Shepard's with little regard for safety yet still drink alcohol when you get home because its legal, Let's see how many of the local citizens are on psychotropic drugs because the doctor said its ok and its legal, The fact is that the effects of Marijuana being illegal far outweighs the effects of it was not illegal...

over 30 grams
So how much marijuana was confiscated?
If it takes building parks every 1000' to deter drug dealers, let the construction commence.
N Dayton street is with-in 1000 ft of a school and a park. In fact it ends at the park. Was raised in Worthington so I do know the lay out of the town.
keninman-it's the same up here in Gary. everything is within 1000 feet of a school or park. makes it very hard for tha hustlers to hustle.
Oops, I posted before adding GOOD JOB to our police officers and I am glad to have more drug dealers off the street though I imagine they will be quickly replaced. Keep up the good work.
Is there any place in Greene Co. that is not within 1000' of a school or park? Overuse of this statute degrades it's value and original intent.
