Teacher Amy Snead Arrested in “Operation Pill Crusher”
In North Carolina, second grade teacher Amy Snead, 36, was one of six people arrested in “Operation Pill Crusher” a countywide sting agaist methamphetamine production.
Snead is a teacher at Polenta Elementary School and is now suspended. She had worked in the school district for 14 years - judging from her age, from the time she left college.
Snead was arrested after the sheriff’s department searched the logs of 24 pharmacies to target people who were buying excessive amounts of pseudoephedrine pills, the main ingredient in crystal meth. Snead is accused of acting as a “smurf” a term for people who buy the pills who turn it over to the cookers who make the meth.
Snead is believed to be one of a group of six people (so far) that have been arrested for making and selling meth. The sherrif says that the “smurfs” are usually meth addicts and go around to drug stores and buy the maximum amount of cold medicine containing pseudoephedrine.
Last year, North Carolina enacted a law last year that required ephedrine and pseudoephedrine had to be purchased behind the counter. (There’s a similar law in many U.S. states now.) Pharmacies are required by law to keep a log of all purchases of pseudoephedrine that are made in their stores.
The sherrif plans to make around 50 arrest in the coming weeks.
