Campbell, like other parts of Silicon Valley, confronts a surge of methamphetamine abuse
|
Something was off about the suspect whom San Jose Police officer Ken Davis pulled over one night in June. Davis noticed he was fidgeting, anxious, grinding his jaw--classic symptoms of someone under the influence of speed. Suddenly, the suspect bolted, fleeing down Winchester Boulevard, engaging Davis in a 350-yard foot pursuit that resulted in his arrest. After retracing his path, Davis recovered two plastic bags of methamphetamine that Albert A. Rodriguez had chucked during the chase. Davis' partner, officer Brian Johst, discovered a glass tube on the car's floorboard--more evidence of meth use. It was indeed a half-ounce of meth--with a street value of $175 to $300--that Davis and Johst had stumbled on. Their half-ounce catch is a molehill in the mountain of meth that has plagued the Santa Clara Valley in the decade leading up to the millennium.
