What in the world! This is not the first time I'm hearing this kind of news, which makes it even sadder. Two women, ages 65 and 70 (sisters), were arrested on Heroin charges.
Both sisters, who live together, were found with a 1000 bags of heroin, and 1000's of dollars in cash, inside their home today, in Pennsylvania. In one of the mug shots, the sister was smiling!
I don't know if she was in shock or what? Last year, a elderly husband and wife were arrested for growing and selling marijuana. When their house was searched, they found the couple's living room filled from wall to wall with marijauna plants! WHen asked why: The couple said they used it for medicinal purposes
, and to suppliment their income!
Have you heard of any increased criminal activity of elders where you're from? It is sad when grandma and grandpa have turned to a life of crime, just to supplement their dwindling social security payments!
