That's today's Appalachian Wireless. Pikeville Police Chief Chris Edmonds says the arrival of meth into Pike County has completely changed the types of cases they deal with. We are not taking prescription drugs off people no more. It's very seldom that we're getting a prescription illegal narcotics out of somebody's pocket or in wrong pill bottles, it's very seldom that we're even seeing that now. In 2014 we had say one meth charge, 30 in 2017, you'll see 50 to 60 in 2018 and this year alone already we're probably around a 10 to 20 range of meth cases already. It even changes the type of 911 calls that dispatchers are taking. Two or three nights straight in a row that they'll call in, there's a mass shooting over there, there's five or six people in on the sidewalk, hurry over please, when we go over and they'll just be standing there, there'll be nothing happening, they're just seeing this stuff. There's somebody under my bed, you know, it brings on paranoia to them to extreme levels. And unlike other drugs, meth brings about an entirely different set of medical issues. When we go to jail with them, and a lot of times the jail just can't take them until they get medical cleared because of those facts, whether their heart rate's outrageous or they got open wounds that need to be treated. So the other officer is stuck with an RSD that we call an ambulance for, take them to the hospital and we'll stay over with them until they get cleared and take them back to jail. So sometimes that's a four or six hour process. Not to mention the risks that meth puts an officer in because many meth users use the drug intravenously. As we're dealing with more needles now whenever dealt with, you'll see needle sticks skyrocketing on officers and you know that's a traumatic event for that officer. That's a year long worth of blood work for him or her and medication for a solid month that just makes you sick every day. Tomorrow we will take a look at the process that takes place after someone is arrested for meth and how much time it takes an officer off the road to deal with one case through the court system.
