United States Attorney William J. Ihlenfeld, II, announced that the Drug Enforcement Administration has scheduled another National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday, April 28, 2012, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

This is a great opportunity for those who missed the previous events, or who have subsequently accumulated unwanted, unused prescription drugs, to safely dispose of those medications.

West Virginia residents that participated in the three previous take-back days turned in more than 9,258 pounds of unwanted or expired medications for safe and proper disposal.

This service is FREE and anonymous.

Items that cannot be dropped off include needles and sharps, mercury thermometers, chemotherapy and radioactive substances, pressurized canisters and illicit drugs.

Are you KIDDING me with this?  In counties where drug use and corruption are rampant and people arrested every day!  Don’t you DARE try to tell me for one minute ALL the drugs gathered that day will be destroyed.  You might as well put out a sign that says Party Time for the po-po and their partyin’ friends.  And you all know that’s the truth.  Good idea, but should have medical professionals, not corrupt cops collecting.

Watchdog— there is a reason our Sheriff’s Dept doesn’t do the Drug Take Back Day and I think we all know why…...
To elect him as a Magistrate of Gilmer County will only multiply the crimes and drugs and the problems we have here will only grow more. He did nothing as a sheriff to stop corruption and will let all those brought before him if elected magistrate to slip right out the back door.
He WAS NOT QUALIFIED when he filed for office and lied about it, why would you want to vote for a person who does not tell the truth? We need to elect a person who is honest, impartial, fair and one who can not be bought. These are not traits he possesses. We do have one who has shown all of these traits for many years and Gilmer needs to get it right again and keep Carol Wolfe in office as
Magistrate for another four years. She has done the job we elected her for and done it well. The Sheriff has been a big disappointment to the honest people of this county and has Not done the job he was elected for. Why would we want to put him in as Magistrate this election?

You mean Mickey would lie or any one of his deputy’s get real. They all carry a bottle of poison and would drink the poison before the would lie or cover any thing up. And there still all alive. LOL
