Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy has unveiled a new plan to stop heroin usage in Nassau County and Suffolk County’s younger generation. Suffolk County had over 1,000 heroin related drug charges this year and 50 heroin related overdoses. The dramatic statistics have made officials take notice. Suffolk is now forming a new heroin task force. They will be taking 31 officers from Suffolk County’s other precincts to form this squad. These officers will investigate all leads and tips that they receive. They have set up a text messaging hotline for tips to be called in anonymously. They will also going into the high schools and middle schools with social workers to talk to children about heroin. A Suffolk County Criminal Lawyer reports that officials are also trying to lobby for a new law to try to dissuade potential drug sales. They would like any vehicle used in a heroin sale to become property of the County.

The County is planning on offering free drug testing kits for parents and making guidebooks available to parents. These books will alert parents to the signs of heroin use and treatment options. They will be hosting “sober” events for recovering addicts. These events will be part of new support groups that will be formed for addicts who are looking for counseling.

Though these plans are in place, some will still be put under arrest because of heroin. If that were to happen to you or a loved one, you will need an aggressive Suffolk County Criminal Lawyer.

A man left his bike, ran inside an office building for a pick-up and sense the errand was suppose to be quick, he didn’t lock up his bright orange bike because he thought it would just slow him down. Instead, he used a fake lock as a decoy. New York Criminal Lawyers indicate that the man has been working as a messenger for 5 years and that the turnaround time for this kind of job is about thirty seconds.

This man, in particular, watched his bike through a large window and was getting agitated when the packages was finally handed over. And in the flash, the bike was gone. He initially thought that someone was just joking with him and he looked around for his bike thinking that he would hear the sound of his peers laughing as his bike was returned.

New York Criminal Lawyers report that as spring rings in the warm weather, the bikes come out but so do the thieves. And, police have even been watching a few shops that regularly buy stolen bikes. But this messenger losing his bike is just a sign that the thieves are still in action.

New York City Criminal Lawyers report that law enforcement officials identified the man shortly after school dismissed. Someone had apparently called 911 to report that a man with a gun was at the school. Obviously with the circumstances surrounding the various shootings at schools across the nation in recent years, this situation was treated very seriously and the officer proceeded with caution.

The man apparently showed the fake gun to two adults and that no children were ever in danger. However, when the officer arrived on the scene, the man pointed the fake pistol at him. The officer reacted by firing three rounds, which struck the man in the neck, torso and arm. The imitation pistol was silver and the barrel was inscribed with “Zebra-II”.

Lil Wayne is a popular rapper but for now, he has made his final appearance. And, this was not a performance by the rapper for fans. His fans and photographers did follow him into the courthouse. He reportedly caused quite a scene as he exited his automobile with his hood pulled over his head. Manhattan Criminal Lawyers report that Lil Wayne was rushed past the security line and he stepped through the metal detector, which should have been carried out with little fanfare.

However, because Lil Wayne is a celebrity and was appearing in court to plead guilty to attempted possession of a weapon that was found on his tour bus in 2007, normal procedures were altered. A Manhattan Criminal Lawyer reports that Lil Wayne plead guilty in exchange for a one-year sentence. This was the third time that his case was to appear before a judge. The first time a judge postponed the hearing so that Lil Wayne could receive dental care and the second time a fire in the courthouse caused the case to be rescheduled.

New York Criminal Lawyers report that the judge had to postpone the beginning of the hearing because people were entering the room and then apparently asked Lil Wayne if he had anything to say but was given a simple headshake answering the judge.
