In the left corner, behind the filing cabinet was where the drug dealer, Joseph, stored his illegal narcotics. He had done drugs himself to the point that his mind was a depravity to others.

Joseph provided these drugs to others from his home even though it was a ramshackle. He was very fervent about his job.

    Nic Sheff was 18 and collage bound when he discovered crystal meth. At first his father had no idea. Then came a call from his school, the late nights, the lying, the ghoulish pallor and the wasting away.

His fears were less dreadful than his son’s reality; begging, dealing, and promiscuous sex whatever it took to dim the pain.

    Four police officers storm an apartment of a suspected drug trafficker with a history of illegal firearm possession. The officers, exercising a valid search warrant, conduct a quick sweep of the apartment to account for all individuals inside, discovering the suspect in the living room reclining in a chair. The officers immediately handcuff the suspect, place him in an upright position, and explain the reason for being there. Then, the officers asked the suspect, "Is there anything we need to be aware of?" The suspect responds that a loaded semi-automatic pistol is under the bed in the master bedroom. Officers also find nearby, used drug paraphernalia and a box of unused bullets. Over the course of two hours the officers discover various amounts of illicit weapons, drugs, and money throughout the dwelling.
