Sanford man faces multiple drug charges
Jeremy Christopher Haire, 48, was arrested after acetaminophen-oxycodone, Xanax and cocaine were allegedly found in the vehicle he was driving.
A narcotics officer then executed a search warrant at Haire's home in the 900 block of Frank Wicker Road, according to a release.
The searches netted the seizure of more than 10 ounces of methamphetamine, 9 grams of cocaine in the process of being converted into crack-cocaine, and about 3 pounds of marijuana, the release said.
A firearm and drug paraphernalia were also found.
Haire is charged with felony offenses of trafficking opioids by transport and by possession, possessing a controlled substance with intent to sell and deliver, possession of cocaine, maintaining a drug vehicle/dwelling, trafficking of methamphetamine by possession, possessing cocaine and marijuana with intent to sell and deliver, manufacturing cocaine, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and a misdemeanor charge of possessing drug paraphernalia.
He was booked into the Lee County Jail with bail set at $550,000.
Haire has multiple arrests listed in eCourts. For example, he pleaded guilty to trafficking opium or heroin and two other drug-related offenses on Oct. 8, 2012. He was sentenced to 35 to 42 months in the Department of Corrections in that case.

Prisoners' Phone Calls Will Soon Be Free in New York State
New York will make phone calls free for incarcerated people starting next month, lifting a financial burden for the loved ones of the state's more than 30,000 prisoners. It will join five other states and New York City, all of which have moved in recent years to adopt similar policies. But the change by New York State is not being accomplished legislatively; instead, it is a result of negotiations between the New York Department of Corrections and Community Supervision and its telecom provider. Beginning August 1, the department will pay the provider, Securus Technologies, 1.5 cents per minute for the calls, which the agency described as one of the lowest rates in the country, and spend $9 million on the initiative this year. Currently, the state's prisoners receive up to three free calls per week, each lasting up to 15 minutes. Calls beyond that cost 2.4 cents per minute plus service fees, which the state does not now cover. Daniel F. Martuscello III, the agency's commissioner, said phone calls created a safer environment in prisons and prepared incarcerated people for life on the outside. 'We have to provide them with services that return them to society as productive members, as mothers, fathers, husbands, wives,' he said. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Alberta RCMP warns of deadly counterfeit pills after death of 16-year-old in Edmonton area
Alberta RCMP has issued a province-wide warning about a potentially deadly supply of illegal opiates disguised as the anti-anxiety medication Xanax, after the death of a 16-year-old male in the Edmonton area. The teen's death is under investigation, and while the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will ultimately determine the cause, RCMP said the circumstances surrounding the case prompted the force to act swiftly. 'Some of this substance was located with the deceased,' said Cpl. Troy Savinkoff, acting Alberta RCMP media relations manager. 'It's enough for RCMP to strongly believe that this was a strong potential cause of the death, and it's enough for us to have concern, to want to immediately communicate our concern.' RCMP believe the counterfeit pill involved in the teen's death was obtained in Edmonton, and that the drug 'could very quickly make its way across the province.' According to RCMP, the counterfeit pills mimic the appearance of Xanax but are grey instead of white, and they contain isotonitazene, a highly potent synthetic opioid which Savinkoff noted as 'a great concern' because it's 'very easy to overdose and cause death.' The pills are rectangular, have the word ONAX stamped on one side, and a vertical '2' on the other. Savinkoff said the public alert was necessary to prevent further harm. 'Parents, relatives, and other community members need to share this information as much as possible, and especially so now that school is out,' he said. The Alberta RCMP is urging the public to avoid taking any medication not prescribed by a licensed pharmacist. 'It's a given that drugs should not be obtained if you don't have a prescription. Drugs are illegal for a reason. They're dangerous,' Savinkoff said. 'And if you don't have a prescription and you don't know where the drug came from, there's always going to be risk.' Anyone who comes across pills matching the description or has information about replica prescriptions is asked to contact local police or call 310-RCMP. cnguyen@ Related Alberta Sheriffs shut down long-term drug house in south Edmonton Two arrested, $22,000 in illegal drugs seized after traffic stop: EPS You can also support our journalism by becoming a digital subscriber.

19-year-old arrested in connection to overdose death of 14-year-old
A 19-year-old St. John's man has been charged with manslaughter in connection to an overdose of youth from four months ago. The RNC said they arrested an unnamed man on Thursday, who was also charged with criminal negligence causing death, and the possession and trafficking of a controlled substance. It follows a 14-year-old boy who was found unresponsive in a Mount Pearl home in March. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled his death was the result of an overdose. "The RNC has since determined the youth ingested what he believed to be Xanax and Dilaudid but actually contained a deadly concoction of synthetic opioids," said the RNC's statement on Friday. Officers carried out a search warrant in May at the accused's home and seized a number of drugs including phenazolam, an often deadly benzodiazepine. The accused was released and is set to appear in provincial court at a later date. Newfoundland and Labrador's chief medical examiner Dr. Nash Denic said in April that more young people have been dying in "gut-wrenching" overdose incidents this year, including a 14-year-old.
