METH'S FAR-REACHING IMPACT INTO TENNESSEEAnderson County, Tennessee has more meth than New York City.
"Right now we're averaging about a lab a week," says Anderson Co., Tennessee Chief Deputy Lewis Ridenour.
There's no thriving metropolis here. That's why meth makers like it. But even though the DEA calls meth a small town drug, it's impact reaches far beyond small town borders.
"It's hard to grow a marijuana patch and not be noticeable, however meth can be done in a small area of the house, even with other people living there and basically you're your own distributor," Ridenour explains. "Its' a very cheap and very easy drug to make."
Donna is one of Anderson County, Tennessee distributors. She cooks crank, a kind of meth. She kicked her habit when she went into the hospital, with a staph infection from using needles. When she got out she stayed clean, for a couple weeks.
"Once I got back to town where I knew I where was at, where everybody I knew was doing it, it's like it was all back and I had to go have it," Donna admits.
Anderson County, Tennessee busted three labs in 2002. Deputies have found 46 so far in 2003.
"Our overtime has went up. They're putting in a lot more hours than they normally would," explains Anderson County, Tennessee Sheriff Bill White.
Ridenour says deputies are constantly thinking of this new danger on the job. "On a normal drug raid you're worried about a suspect and maybe a firearm, where now you've got chemicals, fire, explosion to worry about."
If a lab doesn't explode, it leaves behind plenty of problems. The DEA says every pound of meth generates five pounds of toxic waste.
Deputies found a lab in an Anderson County, Tennessee house more than a year ago, and the house is still standing with skull and crossbones stickers on the door, and warnings that a meth lab as discovered there. Everything is contaminated -- the windows, the walls, the ceilings.
"Basically it's a blighted property," says Ridenour. "I'm sure it's bringing down neighbor's property values. The house will either need to be sold and remodeled or condemned."
The entire East Tennessee region is being affected by meth.
"We've seen a slight increase in minor thefts," says Sheriff White. "Lawn mowers, weed eaters, that type of thing. People can take 'em, pawn 'em, take $20 or $30 and buy their drugs."
The thefts don't stop in Anderson County, Tennessee. Surveillance video shows men police say are two well-known meth makers stealing anhydrous ammonia from a Knoxville, Tennessee business. Anhydrous is an ingredient in meth.
East Tennessee stores also feel an impact from the meth explosion. Some new local laws prevent the sale of certain things that could be used in making meth, in bulk. And, just this week, a federal jury in Chattanooga, Tennessee convicted a store employee for selling things prosecutors say he knew were being used to make meth. It's the second conviction of its kind in Tennessee.
Regional hospitals are now training ER workers how to treat people, especially kids, exposed to meth.
"I think what's most bothersome for us as pediatricians is that these children are exposed to these chemicals. It's heartbreaking not only from a medical stand point, the risks they have to their body both short term and long term and their brain, but what they've lived in," explains Children's Hospital ER Dr. Lise Christensen.
The drug's deadly grasp does not stop with an addict. It gets a hold on a community, and the community has to fight to get away.
"I think we'll make an impact," says Ridenour. "To say it'll be stopped would be naive. We've still got cocaine problems, alcohol problems, and other types of drugs. I think we'll make an impact, but to say we'll solve the problem, I don't think it can ever be solved."
