Fairytale Drug Operation Supplied Cape May, New Jersey Prison

The Cape May County Correctional Center recently broken up a "fairytale" drug trafficking operation that used children’s coloring books featuring Cinderella and Snow White to smuggle drugs into jail. The operation used a dissolved solution of narcotics which was made into a paste and then painted onto the coloring book pages and mailed to the inmates. The coloring pages, seemed like an innocent correspondent and were even addressed "to Daddy" and signed "from Emma Lee." The authorities were tipped off on the operation and shut it down. The main drug in the paste was Suboxone. Suboxone is used to treat opioid addiction and contains a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is an opioid medication. Buprenorphine is similar to other opioids such as morphine, codeine, and heroin. Naloxone blocks the effects of opioids such as morphine, codeine, and heroin.

Man Shows Up to DUI Hearing With Open Can of Busch Beer

Keith Gruber of Swan Lake, New York was sent directly to jail after he arrived at court over an hour late for a DWI hearing. Now being late probably angered the judge a tad but the open Busch beer that Gruber was holding probably pushed the judge over the top. Gruber was later found coveting 4 more beers in a bag that he was holding. Frank LaBuda, the preciding judge asked Mr. Gruber if he enjoyed his "liquid lunch?" Gruber replied that he did and he was sorry.

Synthetic Marijuana Popular Among Nation's Youth

In December MMC blogged about the rise of synthetic marijuana known as "K-2" or "Spice" among the nation's youth. The synthetic marijuana is a mixture of common herbs sprayed with synthetic chemicals that mirror the high of marijuana.  Smoking the synthetic marijuana does not result in a positive drug test.  A recent report out of Iowa sheds more light on the dangers of "K2" and how little the public still knows about the substance. 18 year old David Rozga had apparently been smoking the synthetic marijuana prior to his own suicide. David's father believes that K2 led to his son’s death. Indianola police chief, Steve Bonnett, had commented on the incident by saying, "David had a severe panic attack after smoking K2, which resulted in his death.” The synthetic product is sold as incense in head shops, tobacco stores, gas stations, malls and convenient stores.
