U.S. Attorney Matt Whitworth today accused 22 people of cooking up meth (in three separate cases). But this has to be the most interesting of the three.
Court records allege that James Robert Everson Jr. (or "Bimbo," as his friends call him), robbed the Sanofi-Aventis U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Kansas City, Missouri, on Super Bowl Sunday in 2007. The 41-year-old Everson allegedly took a security guard hostage and stole a 110-pound drum of pseudophedrine powder.
Here's how Whitworth says it was done: Everson broke into the facility a couple of days before the robbery and waited until the beginning of Super Bowl XLI (he missed a helluva game between the Bears and the Colts). After kickoff, Everson allegedly took a female guard hostage at gunpoint and handcuffed her. Then Everson allegedly took four 50-kilogram drums of pseduophedrine powder, dragged the drums by rope to a dock area where he met an accomplice driving a flat bed truck. They loaded up and drove off, using the guard's security key to exit the north gate.
Everson is charged with conspiracy to manufacture and distribute meth between June 2006 and May 2, 2009. He's also charged with possession of pseudophedrine with intent to manufacture meth.
So are these other eight defendants:

Thank you. As the mother of one of the children whose father is mentioned in that article, I appreciate your post. It's been two years of not knowing what the outcome was going to be. My son has been through hell because of it. It's nice to know that someone out there recognizes how badly drugs can destroy families and that even mentioning legalizing them is a slap in the face to its victims.
He was finally sentenced yesterday. Now we can pick up the pieces and move on with our lives!
I'm not sure that I agree with the legalization of all drugs, but you have to be blind to not see that the "war on drugs" has been a complete and total failure. People will always want drugs and making them illegal just makes criminals out of normal citizens. It all comes down to supply and demand--we can't stop the demand, so there will always be a supply.
Maybe you should stop and think for a second about all of the completely innocent people that are hurt by the accused--like their children and loved ones. Your facts are bullshit and let's see...you're typing a damn post at 3:22AM. WTF are you doing awake? You want a law so that you can tweak all damn night and day and not get arrested for it?
I've got news for you (and I don't mean to generalize, but you are so full of shit that I cannot handle it first thing in the morning): INNOCENT PEOPLE GET HURT--EVEN KILLED--BY STUPID PEOPLE THAT ARE JACKED UP ON DRUGS AND ALCOHOL. INNOCENT PEOPLE LIVE THINKING THAT DOPE WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO THEIR LOVED ONES THAN THEY ARE...CHILDREN, MOTHERS, FATHERS--so don't sit at your computer at 3 o'clock in the morning and spout some bullshit about how "drugs should be legal and the world would be a better place." It won't and people would bitch about how it costs so much more now that there are TAXES (yeah you dumbass, there would be hella taxes on drugs if they became legal)and since it's not going to happen, maybe you should think of a way to help the people that have (by no fault of their own) been devastated by the actions of people that have decided to do this stupid shit and fuck up everyone else's lives around them.
This may not be very nice, but you are a complete and total dumbshit. Get a life, get a clue and get the fuck off the Internet if you cannot put down the pipe and think like a rational human being.
You can bust every meth lab and meth user you can come up with and you will not even START to put a dent in the huge demand for meth. Meth addicts LOVE their meth and if you shut down the local labs then the Mexican mafia will simply increase the amount of meth it exports into the USA to meet the new demand. Methamphetamine should be legal. Mexico just legalized possession of small amounts of drugs. Switzerland reaffirmed its legal heroin system. Portugal decriminalized all drugs in 2001. Legalizing meth would kill meth labs, meth houses and the meth mafia overnight. A group of 10,000 very serious policemen, prosecutors, attorneys and citizens have formed a group to legalize ALL drugs, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (http://leap.cc ) They see what happened when we legalized alcohol in 1932 as a good example of how drug legalization would work. They're sick of chasing drug users and sending innocent people to prison for decades just because they like to get high. This foolish war on drugs has lasted 37 years and cost us over a TRILLION dollars and we are not an inch closer to stopping drugs. Mark Montgomery boboberg@nyc.rr.com
