Everybody does drugs

It's like I've always said. Chances are, someone whom you like and even admire and whom you least suspect is using drugs.

WAYLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- A government official and his wife were charged Friday with operating and maintaining a methamphetamine laboratory in their home.

And as is customary with well connected defendants, they will be celebrating Christmas at home.

He was released on a personal recognizance bond after being arraigned on two counts of operating and maintaining a meth lab and one count of possession.

Don't get me wrong. I have no objection to that but it's too bad the same can't be said of the many less connected, lower level offenders who will spending the holidays in jail.
