Why on earth did the prosecutors release this information? I agree that it is a rather insignificant event. I suspect that Ruark will be trying to get some positive attention prior the next election, after all he has botched many cases in recent months.

It's likely that the task force had a warrant to search the business, too. All they found was this guy, either dealing or ready to deal (and use). If there was nothing to report about the business, why drag their name into it? The customer base for this guy is going to move on to another supplier, and maybe to some other business location. If we closed down all the innocent businesses used by drug dealers in this town, there would be no place to shop.

Sure all the innocent businesses.
except the ones selling drugs.
IF they had a warrant they knew something was there
Why didnt they pick him up somewhere else.

If the buisness has durgs being sold out of it wether the owner is involved of not....IT IS NOT AN INOCENT BUISNESS.

You people are way to fast to pass judgment on the business. Perhaps the business owner was the one to squeal on his employee and thus a great way to fire him without repercussion to him or his business.

Many places of business are merely "fronts" for drug-dealing.
