The Adair County Sheriffs Office has collected approximately 87 lbs of prescription medication over the last year in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Agency.
The purpose of the program is to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of old prescription medicine while educating the public about the potential for abuse of medication.
This year, alongside Troopers from KSP Post 15, the Adair County Sheriffs Office collected approximately 205lbs of pills. On Sunday, Oct. 25th at 10:00pmCT, Sheriff Josh Brockman turned over the prescription meds to KSP POST 15 to be transported to a designated drop-off point for proper disposal.
