I pray that local law enforcement will continue to hone in on all meth related offenders. This capture is a blessing in disguise for these people who were arrested. . . Most of them still have their faces.

These boys and girls will be doing federal time, ergo, they will be required to work and while in prison will be expected to take what little they earn (it isn’t much, believe me) and pay it to their outstanding fines. Any other cash awards they may earn (such as completion of a GED) will also go to the fines they owe. Other parts of the fine are covered by any real property that they may have (house, car, etc) and a judgement is placed on such so that any money earned is taken by the Govt. to cover their fines, if the property isn’t seized as well. The drug money, if any, was seized, so that’s out. They’ll have to pay some, but probably won’t pay it all. However, they’ll be doing some serious time with the feds – at least 85% of it assuming they earn all their good conduct time! Hopefully, it will make a positive difference in some of their lives as they will have access to drug abuse programs, etc.

Not trying to step on anyone’s toes here, but the fine that any individual receives as part of a sentence with an inmate being incarcerated, will be reduced to a Civil Lien and once a person has a civil lien in their record, it makes so that person will not be able to drive LEGALLY on our streets. Not to say that whenever a person is let loose from prison or jail, that they don’t drive (I have seen this with my own eyes). J/S

People arrested for meth take the best mugshots. I hope at least one of these people get rehabilitated. Meth is a terrible substance.

No it will never get paid, but it should be handled in a way that will make the next 12 think. I see it like this they find the money to make/buy meth, so clean yourself up, get a job and put the drug money on your fine. If the fine is not paid then lock them up and MAKE them work, with a portion going to the state for their stay in the state facility and the remainder toward the fine, staying until the fine is paid in full.

These people never heard of Reductive Animation and they never learned from observing the effects on others that Meth is a BAD DRUG!

I’m glad they are caught and convicted. But why the $250,000. dollar fine. No one really thinks that will get paid do they. Can’t get blood out of a turnip.
