Yep. Locally, we had a guy set fire to an apartment building while cooking meth in Binghamton. A guy arrested for selling meth in Wavery, now this in Newark Valley...it’s circling us.
I think meth is epidemic in upstate NY. I remember visiting my FIL in the hospital in Utica and there were obvious meth addicts all over—emaciated and toothless are the hallmarks.
