What connection is there between meth addicts and arrowheads being looted from archeological sites?
Here is the story: I recently blogged the police reports from Victoria, British Columbia about crystal meth addicts who soothe their nervous, drug-filled energy by compulsively stripping bicycles to their component parts. Now comes the report of a sheriff in Arkansas who says that the local tweakers occupy their nerves by methodically searching nearby fields for indian arrowheads. The sheriff says that many of the tweakers he busts have large collections of indian arrowheads in their homes. Tony Young of Velvet Ridge says the sheriff is on to something. Young is in jail awaiting trial on a meth charge. He says looking for arrowheads gives people wired on meth something to do. To pay for his legal defense, Young sold his arrowhead collection to a local dealer. Young says that many nights he found himself in fields full of fellow arrowhead hunters and many of them were high on meth. Arkansas State
