ANTI-HEROIN PLAN: HIGH SCHOOL 'GUARDIANS'
A MILTON Butler County Prosecutor Mike Gmoser thinks he has a plan that
will help save teens from becoming the next wave of heroin addicts.
After talking to dozens of addicts three months ago, Gmoser on Friday
unveiled an initiative he hopes will take hold in the county's public
and private high schools.
In May, Gmoser set up a hotline and put out a call through the media
asking for heroin addicts or recovering addicts to meet with him
confidentially for a chat on what got them started. He said 85 percent
of the cases coming through grand juries were heroin-related and he
wanted to find a way to fix the heroin epidemic which county coroner's
officials said is responsible for 64 deaths so far this year.
