As you likely know, both the Buncombe County Sheriff’s Department and the Asheville Police Department have gotten into trouble lately because:

The evidence room doors
were locked up tight
and everything was quiet for the night
when suddenly the clock struck twelve
and the fun began.

Just like the mops in “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” the evidence started marching for the door.

Both the sheriff and the chief who oversaw the departments during the departures have now departed, leaving in their wake a lack of public trust. We are led to believe tighter controls are now in force for the evidence rooms. And so today was the day parents in the Asheville and Buncombe County school systems were supposed to put unwanted prescription meds in a yellow “Drug Drop Off Bag.”

School Resource Officers [policemen] will be on hand from 7am until 1pm on Friday, June 1, at any BCS middle or high school, and until noon at Asheville Middle and High, to accept the unused medications and dispose of them properly.

Why am I laughing?
