LOUISA, Ky. — The Lawrence County Grand Jury met on Friday, Sept. 14th and came back with 12 Indictments. Half of those 12 were not local, but for individuals who came to Lawrence County to commit crimes. These indictments show that many of the crimes being committed are also being committed by a much younger crowd.
Methamphetamine has trickled down to the younger generation and the dominate drug has yet to show any signs of slowing down, many comments are blaming the circuit court for handing out probation to repeat offenders and being so lenient. The drug remains to leave so many families in our area in crisis.
