"This has become a major problem," he said. "We've gotten rid of the doctors who overprescribe. You almost need a signed certificate now saying you have cancer to get a prescription for OxyContin here, but you can still call up Web sites on the Net here and have these pain pills legally delivered to your house.

No. What's crazy is that you must have CANCER to be prescribed Oxycontin in the state of Kentucky!!

"In Hazard, Trooper Bruce Kelley arrested a suspect last fall who stole drugs from a parked UPS truck at a convenience store on the Knott-Perry county line while the driver was inside. The suspect knew what he was looking for, Kelley said."

"Drivers have reported people following their trucks or trying to flag them down before they reach their destinations, Kelley said."

"He cited recent incidents in Powell and Clark counties. In Stanton, he said, police were called when an irate man went into a UPS facility demanding his prescription drugs. In Clark County, a man was involved in a car accident after he couldn't get his prescription at a UPS building."

""Our drivers are calling us and telling us, 'We're being pulled over on the side of the road and being demanded to give over their drugs,'" he said. "Drivers have called and said, 'Hey, we've been offered cash to let us get our package so you don't have to give us the proper ID.'"

You know what, if I was a driver, I'd want it to end too if people are acting like THAT!!!! Like I've said & MANY other have said before, the stupid ones ruin it for the honest people.

I do see both side of this but man, if the drivers are having to go through that kind of harrassment while trying to drive their route, I don't blame them ONE BIT!!
