Meth Task Force

By: Meghan Dill

Updated: November 2, 2007

Methamphetamine is a problem across the United States, and locally law enforcement is cracking down. According to research, methamphetamine use is increasing in Northwest Arkansas at an epidemic rate. And while many think its use is predominately in rural areas, affluent communities are now seeing their fair share of meth users. State drug director Fran Flener says it’s so popular because its cheap and easy to make. Benton County formed a meth task force four years ago.
