Drug informants get off scot-free! By Bonnie Abbott February 03, 2014
If we lived in Washington where there was a bigger drug force, cops could portray themselves as addicts, get to know people and the crowds and arrest and indict people that way, but they cannot do that here. It's impossible and too expensive too get out of town help to bring a few officers to Ketchikan, put them on the streets for months and even years, to get the Big Dogs!!! So Andy and KPD I know now why you work so hard to get drugs off the streets, because me realizing finally, and being clear headed, that it kills our friends, our family, our children, and adds a lifelong heartache to the families of the ones that have passed! My brother is no longer with me and my family and left behind three daughter and now a grandson he never met. Drugs ruined my reputation and hurt the hell out of my family & loved ones. I hope more people who are addicted get help. And there is help, not much in Ketchikan and I know this. If anyone wants to know how I did it, and is desperate for a new life like I was as I sat in a jail cell thinking of all the others I blamed for my addiction, please call me 9076178759!!! The people that do know me absolutely know if I did it then so can they!!!! I did not seek help in Ketchikan because I know it did not and does not work! So I went elsewhere and I thank my Pastor in San Jose, Pastor Johnny Lepenias for leading me to who really can change you inside and out!!! If any family members would like to call me because they are worried about their young teen, please call, I am currently starting school in May to receive my human resource and service degree with concentration in addiction therapy. Because I want to help the people with this awful disease that rips families apart from their children and kills our loved ones!!! Like I said they need a counselor in Ketchikan that can reach people and people with this disease will not even begin to listen to anyone that has never walked in their shoes and been through addiction for twenty five years!!! Hopefully, after my bachelors degree, I will get hired, but with my record its unlikely. So I have decided to open up my own office and counseling services, when the timing is right, here in Ketchikan!!!! Thank you and Sincerely Yours, Bonnie J Abbott
