According to Det. Chuck White of the Ellis County Sheriff’s Office, local law enforcement collected 208 pounds of unwanted prescription and over-the-counter medicines at Friday’s Drug Takeback event.
“We’d like to thank Fort Hays State University and the Good Samaritan Society for their participation with the event, and to those citizens and students that took the time to discard their unwanted medicines in an effort to make our community a safer, healthier place to live,” White said in a news release Friday afternoon.
