I know of 3 people (not including myself) that have suspected the house on the corner of Bradley and Main Street and have reported the activity coming and going for about a year. Anybody who lives in the town of Hebron knows which house I am talking about. Its so bad, they have started dealing drugs at the barber shop at all hours of the night. Several of us have called the Sheriffs department, taken down tag numbers, and called the drug task force. I feel like this could have been prevented. If the recent deaths dont have anything to do with that house on the corner, one will soon.

Why does anyone have access to this information? It would be different if they died as the result of a homicide. But this is really a private, family matter.

Salisburian, this is a press release from MSP that's how the information got out there.

Methadone proves one thing we've always known. There is a serious heroin problem in this area if there are methadone clincs. This is so sad. I don't know how many people have said the 16 year old boy had a promising future. Why on earth are these kids risking their lives with these poisons?

My deepest sympathy goes out to the remaining family members. I am so terribly sorry for your loss.

I am not a lawyer, but I'm wondering if, in the case of the 16-year-old (because he was a minor), the supplier could be charged with homicide--if, of course, the supplier becomes known.

@ 5:42...Thank you for being brave enough to comment about my 4:35 post. It has gone on too long and nobody seems to care. We have called and called about our concerns. I bought a house here two years ago. To those who dont look deeper, its the American dream. Such a small, beautiful town...not even a stop light. Kids can run around and play like I did when I was young. Now I know better. I feel so much pain for the family who lost those young boys. I am willing to do whatever I can to find who did this to those children. My daughter went to school with the youngest. She was so shocked to learn what happened. I have educated her on the facts of drug use but never thought it would be right here, let alone someone she knew. This small town is devistated. We moved from Salisbury to get away from this crap. Methadone is what was found to be the cause of death. This is usually prescribed by a physician for pain management...lord knows we have had enough of those morons around here. I could be wrong for suspecting the house on the corner of Bradley and Main but damn...its so obvious that something is going on at that house. I feel I have done everything in my power to stop the illegal activity I see or at least report it and let the law take over but they havent. We will continue to call and report what we see no matter how insignificant they make it seem. Whats really sad is that it takes two children dying for anyone to give a damn about what goes on in this little town.

So sad. My heart goes out to this family. I hope the youth will learn something from this...yes, death can happen to you and your friends, and it will eventually if you use drugs. Do not ever start and you will never have to quit!

@9:58 I would suspect that the "supplier" in question to the 16 year old would be his older (now deceased) brother. Now who sold to the 20 year old is another question.......

Why should the Sheriff's Dept. worry about "small town, small time" drug problems when they can run the Bypass or Rt.50 & 13 to make a bigger bust? I have had the same problems in Sharptown but either no deputy responds or they respond an hour after my call. Once the DO (I think that is what the person that answered the phone said) advised me I had to see a transaction take place for them to ride to Sharptown...yeah, like I am going to walk over there & ask them what they are doing. Not in today's world!!!!

I think it's obvious that something is going on at the house on main and bradley. My husband and I put an alarm in our house and got a big dog specifically because of them being out at all hours of the night. Riding scooters at 4am back and forth back and forth. The young teenage girl outside smoking with the crack-head looking boys at all hours. One night I was changing my baby's diaper at 2 or 3 am and 2 or 3 of them were out in the middle of the street yelling and screaming.
Hebron overall is a great little town but it certainly does have drugs running rampant and it's obviously becoming more of an issue. It's ashame the issues in hebron, sharptown, etc aren't being looked into. Seems like the 'big city' issues Salisbury is having is now leaking into our smaller towns. Pretty soon the entire county will be a drug and crime infested pit. And they are cutting the number police officers/pay for them ...why?!?!?!

How in the hell did these two get access to methadone?Methadone is used primarily for detoxing heroin addicts and sometimes for pain management.If I understand it correctly,junkies can get this stuff free from the local health department and other sources,and us taxpayers are footing the bill for it.Then they end up selling it.Time to put a halt to the methadone giveaways,
And Hebron people,hang in there.Eventually all the attnetion and exposure will get to those people and they will move on to another town.

Its been rumors for a while that those 2 boys were into drugs. In this case the supplier may not be a drug dealer. Its been said the dad had it perscribed for pain management and the boys were left home for the weekend bc the dads illness was worsened.
