Drug crime drives costs in Jefferson County budget
Sheriff David Thomas warned Jefferson County council that rising drug arrests strain funds as 135 inmates fill a jail designed for 109, with 67 more housed in Crawford, Scott and Switzerland counties. He cited 85 to 90 percent of arrests as drug related, mainly meth, and asked for fund transfers to cover housing costs.
