I agree, what are they going to do with them? If they are cracking down on the drug issue, then they need to shut down the Meth Lab at Hozes. Mike Yount and Larry Mckinney share a big part in the Hozes hangout. Mike and Larry need to be behind bars - drugs, alcohol - it needs to stop. Mike a/k/a Snowflake - what does that tell you? He was arrested for a Felony DUI that killed Jim Cohrs. His blood alcohol level was .122% and he is back on the street doing the same thing.
