But I thought Kane County was drug free?

The title of the article says it all:

DUI, drug cases flooding Kane County courts

Well, all those people that hounded Judge Jim Doyle into retirement should be so proud of themselves.

"Aside from alcohol, marijuana and cocaine also are pervasive in Kane County, Barsanti said. Last year, the most common felony charge was unlawful possession of a controlled substance. The fifth most common change was delivery of or possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, according to the statistics."

People need to wake up and realize the destructive influence of drugs in this area.
