DRUG ARRESTS UP FOR FIRST HALF OF THIS YEAR

JACKSON - Cooperation among state and local law enforcement agencies is increasing the number of drug arrests in Mississippi, officials say. 

Gov.  Haley Barbour said Thursday that Mississippi had 39 percent more drug arrests in the first half of 2004 than during the same period a year ago. 

"That's the right kind of start," said Republican Barbour, who took office in January.
