The County Jail is getting crowded with suspected Wellsville drug dealers. In this morning's paper in the Court news were listed two more people served with secret indictments issue by the Grand Jury. With the addition of the new names that brings the total to five that have been apprehended in the last few days. That's good news for the ville. It indicates that serious efforts are being made to clean up our streets.
One of the suspects in the latest arrests was also prominently mentioned in a shooting on Washington Street this past January. Back when we were talking about that someone hinted that the authorities would be getting busy dealing with the illicit drug situation in town. Guess they weren't kidding. I wonder if there are more coming?
It's too bad that those who are supplying the drugs to these local suspects haven't been nailed yet but there is only so much that can be done on the local level. Hopefully the authorities are making some inroads on this aspect too.
I doubt if we will ever be free of this menace but it is heartening to see something being done. Now there are five people put in the legal system and at least for the time being they won't be out and about. They're a little slow posting court records over in Lisbon but I noticed two of those arrested last week did not post bail yet.
It's a start that I'm happy to see...
