LSD case shocks Alpine as Chicago youth treated
A 19 year old from Chicago was hospitalized in Brewster County after LSD use led to violence in a Sanderson motel. He traveled with friends toward California before the arrest and transfer to Brewster Memorial Hospital. Dr. Lockhart warned of permanent brain and reproductive damage from LSD and noted the case underscores risks to curious youths. The youth was jailed and later flown back to Chicago with his mother, while local efforts aimed to deter others from drug experimentation. A wildcat drilling project by Duncan Sartain & Associates was planned in Brewster County, 25 miles southwest of Sanderson.
