Wow ...

At a loss for words! 

Anyone surprised?

[Judi]

Yes, I was shocked at the amount and type of dangerous items found. Because they had a search warrant there had to be an ongoing investigation so this may not be the only problem in our area. With the problems in St. Albans and Rutland it is bound to spread out into small communities as well. Just look at the increase in crime over the last couple of years because of the drug situation.

Don't know a lot on this topic but would you consider this to be a Crack House?  Can the house Explode due to the chemical/drugs or is this different from a Crack House?  Very happy that they discovered this - not sure how they know where to find this but it makes me feel better that they know where and how to find it!

This house has been known for this activity for a long time!! it was only a matter of time before this happened I'm actually suprised it took as long as it did.

“This house has been known for this activity for a long time!!” If this is the case, I wonder why action has not been taken or attention drawn toward the issue?  Why wait until either someone else takes action or a tragedy takes place?

I'm betting the neighbors have asked the same question Dave.

Will the Owner of the house  a.k. a the Mother be charged?

I find it hard to believe that this Mother did not know what was going on in her own home, unless she had been working towards getting her son some Help!   Troubled kids do come from good homes.
