Illegal meth labs spread in North CarolinaRALEIGH, North Carolina - Methamphetamine abuse is quickly sweeping North Carolina, and North Carolina needs money and cooperation of law enforcement agencies, social-service groups and the public to fight the problem, Attorney General Roy Cooper said Tuesday.
Cooper wants tougher penalties for manufacturing and selling meth, which can be made from easily bought drugs and chemicals such as cold medicine and lye.
The attorney general also said he wants to improve education to help the public spot suspicious activity. For example, he said, hotel maids and garbage collectors should call police when they see scores of empty blister packs for over-the-counter drugs in the trash, Cooper said at a news conference.
"They need to know a person who comes in and buys 10 boxes of Sudafed is not a big family with a bad cold," he said.
Meth labs sprouted up along the West Coast more than 20 years ago, and now are spreading east. In North Carolina, the first meth lab was reported in 1999, and the State Bureau of Investigation found a total of nine labs that year. In 2003, that number grew to 177 labs found in about half of North Carolina counties, mostly in the western half of the state. The SBI expects it to nearly double this year.
Other counties haven't had as many busts, in part because the state hasn't had the resources to aggressively investigate meth labs, said SBI Director Robin Pendergraft. In many areas, law-enforcement officials are not trained to recognize signs of meth lab activity.
Cooper has stressed the need to educate law-enforcement and social-service officials about how to identify and respond to meth labs as the problem spreads to new counties.
Cooper and law-enforcement agencies haven't put a price tag on the problem, but said they need the stricter sentencing guidelines used in other states to prevent the rapid spread of meth labs. He began meeting with law-enforcement and social-services officials last fall to study the problem and find solutions.
North Carolina Law-enforcement agents are describing it as worse than the crack cocaine epidemic, both in the potency of addiction and in the dangers it poses.
Meth labs can explode because of the volatile chemicals used in the manufacturing process, and their toxicity can turn a neighborhood into a hazardous-waste area. Children can easily succumb to fumes from some of the chemicals and suffer lasting respiratory problems.
Children were found in one-fourth of the homes, apartments and cars where meth labs were discovered last year, Pendergraft said.
SBI agents say the hazardous mixtures created in making the drug have seeped through cracks in their chemical-protection suits and burned their necks. A meth lab explosion in Watauga County, North Carolina in 2003 seared the lungs of a volunteer firefighter and cost him 85 percent of his lung capacity. Watauga had 34 meth lab busts last year, the most of any North Carolina county.
"You can't just go in and do a raid and confiscate it like marijuana; this stuff is dangerous," said Litchard Hurley, Randolph County, North Carolina sheriff and former president of the North Carolina Sheriff's Association.
Rowan County, North Carolina Sheriff George Wilhelm said many meth manufacturers use motel rooms or rented houses and mobile homes, contaminating them for the next resident.
"These things eat your lungs up and eat your skin up."
On Saturday, in Rutherford County, a real estate agent discovered a meth lab while showing a client a property that was supposed to be vacant, said Van Shaw Jr., an SBI agent who handles lab busts. That county, in Western North Carolina, had 14 meth busts in 2003.
Anna Mills Wagoner, U.S. attorney for the North Carolina Middle District, is planning a seminar in February to educate retailers in Rowan County, North Carolina and Statesville about drugs that are often stolen or purchased to make meth. Some major retailers such as Wal-Mart already limit the number of those items a customer may purchase.
Cooper's statements Tuesday were designed to draw feedback from law-enforcement agencies statewide and to build support for tougher sentencing legislation and for additional funds. Lawmakers return to Raleigh to conduct normal business in May, although Gov. Mike Easley can bring them back early by calling a special session.
A prison population explosion also could hurt Cooper's proposals. The legislature is already considering changes in sentencing that would relieve prison crowding. Cooper said he's been working with the North Carolina Sentencing Commission to mitigate the problem.
