I think it was really crappy that the paper would put people's addresses in the paper, where they were picked up, that is a disgrace and they all should be ashamed of themselves!!

Hey, if you don't want that kind of information published in the paper, then stay away from the drugs.

The disgrace is the people doing the drugs. The public has a right to know who the drug heads are and where they live and work.

To the Bern RN. 5 stars. Couldn't be better said..

if they give names out like that.....why dont they give the names of the informants

[Constitution]

Addresses printed in news about drug arrests ..........
How bout innocent until proven guilty??
The damage done by putting information in the news before any conviction cannot be undone. And YES .......... there are countless cases where there have been mistakes and misinformation in police arrests and charges dropped not just on technicalities.

[Also from Huntington]

Haven't you heard the term "Public Records"? If you don't want your info published stay off the drugs!!

humm maybe it's for their protection. Some people want to protect their families and communities. Getting caught,may help that person or persons get medical help or counseling.Have you burried a child from some sort of drug use, or had a sister, brother cousin, or friend be sexually molested? It is good to know someone may be watching.They may even save a life.

I live out of state and can't read the news, cause the herald press started charging $6.00 a month and I would like to know who they were. It not right for us to pay for the news, if we already pay for our interenet services.
