Chelan County Sheriff's Sergeant Rob Huddleston says he hasn't read what's in Senate Bill 5536 that reintroduces penalties for drug possession, but says something needed to be done. He says what's needed most in the bill is something that wasn't in the current law, and that's accountability:
Asked whether a first arrest is rock bottom for a lot of people, Huddleston gave a very definite “no,” that there's often a steep decline from that first arrest until rock bottom is hit.
