In Morristown the abuse of prescription drugs has become such a problem that the M.P.D. conducted an 18 month undercover operation resulting in numerous arrests and indictments. The news reports 146 drug overdose deaths in the last decade far outnumber deaths from violent crime and car crashes and some of those car crashes may have included drug impairment. The article mentioned:
"Another woman arrested for DUI Thursday night, Patricia A. Cody, allegedly was holding nine oxycodone pills for which she had no prescription and marijuana, according to officer David Klein.
With a mixed drink in hand, Cody, 52, allegedly attempted to flee from Klein across a field off Merchants Greene Drive. She allegedly reported she had taken “several prescription medications.”"
