DRUG MONEY HELPS FIGHT CRIME
PURVIS - Lamar County Sheriff's Office will keep its DARE program solvent,
buy several new cruisers and pay for other expenses - all without asking
taxpayers for a dime.
The money to pay for the projects will come from the seizure of a large
amount of cash in an August traffic stop on Interstate 59.
Derryle Smith of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency on Friday gave Lamar
County Sheriff Danny Rigel $195,315 of the original $244,220 that was
seized in the stop. The remainder of the money goes to the DEA.
