On April 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Greenwich Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public its eighth opportunity in three years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your pills for disposal to the Greenwich Police Department at 11 Bruce Place Greenwich. (The DEA cannot accept liquids or needles or sharps, only pills or patches.)
The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. Last October, Americans turned in 324 tons (over 647,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at over 4,114 sites operated by the DEA and its thousands of state and local law enforcement partners. When those results are combined with what was collected in its seven previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners have taken in over 3.4 million pounds, which is more than 1,700 tons of pills.

Police eventually went into the home and found no one inside. “At this time we do not believe there was any actual hostage situation, and the Greenwich police are continuing to investigate the matter,” Capt. Robert Berry said in an audio news release. Continue Reading →
