Collaborative Drug Initiative findings.
Illegal drug usage, particularly heroin and other opioids, was the topic of a Bluffton Public Library Community Issues Series on Ohio’s drug epidemic.
Nearly 20 persons attended the noon program on March 9. Ryan Burkholder, Bluffton police chief, and Tyler Hostetler, Bluffton police sergeant, presented the program.
Chief Burkholder said that Bluffton police find themselves addressing these problems differently than in the past due to Ohio’s changing drug laws.
