meth is the worst,if your doing it..quit,if you know someone dealing it, turn them in,its a bad,bad,drug
Wow, that meth is of the devil, poor bastards that are addicted to it.
Nice bust guys! Maybe the crooks will get smart and move to Mammoth since there will be no narcotics officers in Mammoth soon. Maybe they can get a deal on some low cost housing when they move up.
Meth is the scourge of the earth ….with all of these felonies added up, this idiot should go away for at LEAST 10 years, anything less, there’s something seriously wrong with the court system.
P.S….I’d bet my next paycheck that both of those guns are hotter than Badwater in July.
GOOD JOB INET !!!!!!….Guns,drugs and a couple of dope dealers off the streets of Inyo County.Now we can only hope,since this isn’t their first brush with the law,the courts will do a better job with conviction and punishment this time around….
