Interesting that they leave out he was wanted in DE for burglary.

Just a guess, but heroin overdose?

After 100 officers storm Crisfield and arrest all 3 dope dealers. The war on drugs has failed. You can't do anything but do your best parenting and hope for the best. The more we try to arrest our way out of this problem the more our economy suffers and drives hopeless people into this lifestyle. Everything west of the 113/413 intersection may be lost but we need a change in our policies.
