    Unfortunately, IF they get jail or prison time, the problem remains the same regarding “no repercussions” for any additional rules on the inside as well. They pretty much do what they want and get taken better care of (at the taxpayer’s expense, of course) then most of them did before arriving. Whatever they did on the outside, they continue to do on the inside. The lucky ones even learn all about new or better ways (think about Johnny Depp’s character in the movie “Blow”) to do the same or additional crimes upon release by living with the rest of the population. This is the sadness that is our justice system. But, hey…at least they’re happier, healthier and “smarter” when they return to our communities!

    @liana
    Have you been down 29 lately I’m sure you seen blue lights they have always got someone pulled over which I think is a good thing that’s how you make arrests. But if they want the drug dealers they are not on 29 they are directly behind it in both directions

    My cousin, Valene, is looking well.
    We are all very proud of her, as you can imagine.

    David for diversity

    Alright FPD!!!! Get ‘Em! I’m so happy to hear that FPD is getting out there and keeping an eye on our streets and businesses. Now if we can just keep it up and work on doing the same in Century. I know all Century has is the ECSD, but I would just like to see more of a presence out there. Maybe if there was we wouldn’t have so much trouble. I don’t know, maybe.

    Like cockroaches, this element must be flushed outta the woodwork. Great job deputies! I know you probably sometimes feel it’s like trying to stem a flood, but every drug roach off the streets makes a difference. You are heroes, something that is in short supply nowadays.

    Here this should help on questions about what is liquid cocaine. It is just a new way of transporting and smuggling it. It is still dried out and turned back into powder it is only liquid for transport to throw off LEO. Below is a link about this new method.

    Liquid cocaine is kinda rare besides out of Central America. It is when they process the coca leaf they break down into a paste that normally get made into a powder , but instead of powder the cartels will form it into a concentrated liquid it is easier to hide and move liquids. Whenever the liquid gets to it’s location it can be made into whatever. I believe this is probably when whoever was smuggling it in a gas tank and the gas broke the coke into a liquid that can get at a cheaper rate.

    Oh my gosh!! The Flomaton PD is on fire! GOOD WORK guys!! This is encouraging… ** Look out you nasty thugs- your days are numbered! (hope some of the ones that they’ve already caught start to flip on some of their cohorts!)

    It’s a shame that people who are even habitual offenders are arrested for felonies are being let go with a setence of ” probation” or a few months in “rehab”instead of jail terms. And people wonder why these criminals continue to commit crimes. There are no repercussions that’s why! So they just carry on!

    Keep it up flomaton PD. The problem is with over crowding in jails the drug dealers and users are just turned loose to continue their trade and use. Its considered a non violent crime per obama. It still kills, just at a slower pace.

    >>>William you must have been typing the answer as I was typing the question.

    There was a previous question a few minutes before…so I hit Google.

    What exactly is liquid cocaine?

  16. William on April 14th, 2016 1:50 am

    >>Liquid cocain. I’ve been in corrections and law enforcement for almost twenty years and have never heard of liquid cocain. Someone help me out

    That’s what the FPD said without be specific.

    In googling, cocaine is readily soluble in water and can then be injected, or mixing cocaine and water are part of the process in making crack. Or there is cocaine hydrochloride, a prescription local anesthetic used in oral and nasal surgeries.

    It’s about time these drug pushers start going down! Now if the neighboring town of Century would follow suit our two little communities would be doing better! It’s NEVER gonna go away, but if those thug heads know our area don’t tolerate that junk it will deter SOME…

    BOOK ‘EM DANO!!!!
