4 arrested in Charlotte-area black tar heroin ring | Charlotte News, Weather, Sports | WCNC.com | Local News

Names from the article - Nancy Rotolo, 52, James Thompson, 46, Anthony Moore, 39, and Wilfredo Andujar, 44, were all arrested and charged with being part of a group that imported heroin from Mexico and distributed it to local dealers.

Let's see here, Rotolo is an Italian based name, Thompson is English, Moore is English, Andujar is based from Spain.

I know exactly what you mean, those Eastern European roots is just shocking to see any association with drugs. Or maybe it was the ages of the people arrested that surprised you? I'm not sure, but these folks definitely aren't spring chickens by any means. Or maybe it was the $25 for a balloon, it's a special sort of latex that they use that promises when you blow one up you'll achieve new heights.

Back in PA (Philadelphia/Lehigh Valley) three years ago what really helped was when Heroin started showing up in blue bags. The dealers got creative with the cut so that it'd kill nearly instantly. We'd get 911 calls and show up with the needles still in the user's arm. Wouldn't have been bad for us except that some reason user's always find the most remote dark corner to die in which is just a pain when lugging the body out.

Unfortunatley, you can get heroin in every major city in the US. I don't see why some of us seem shocked to see it surface in Charlotte. And if anything, I think the Mayor has done the city a disservice by announcing to every junkie within a 1 hour radius where to go to get there fix.

Case in point.
Something has to give with humanity , I just hope it willn't result in our collective demise.

Why would that be against the TOS? It is a fact: schools and physicians and rehab centers are seeing sharply increasing numbers of high school students on heroin. This is not some kind of mystery.

Also, it is not just coming in thru/ Miami. It is coming in all over our borders - and into every port, including ports in NC and SC. There's all kinds of info about heroin and high school students if you google it.

Here's the CLT OBS article, which has been picked up all over the country today (again - just google it).

Heroin deaths on rise in '09 - CharlotteObserver.com

Excerpt:

Capt. Mike Adams of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department's vice and narcotics unit said he could not estimate how many heroin gangs, or drug cells, operate in Charlotte, but said police have shut down seven cells since June.

"The majority are Mexican," he said. "All the black-tar heroin is from Mexico."

Black-tar heroin, made from poppies in western Mexico, gets its name from its color and texture. Police attribute its rise to its cheaper price and the well-run distribution networks developed by Mexican cartels.

There are plenty of non-illegals who engage in criminal activity.
