New Castle Police Chief Charles Abraham and Lawrence County District Attorney William Panella say arrests, warrants, and surveillance help but won’t solve illegal drug trade. They urge education and rehabilitation to reduce demand, with Cresson State Prison highlighted for its treatment program. They note drugs drive violent crime, burglaries, and other felonies, urging more purchaser arrests to dry the market.
