“Good Drugs Gone Bad”

YouTube Preview Image
When people speak of drug abuse, one immediately thinks of drugs such as marijuana and cocaine. However, people rarely think of the common drugs found in their homes and medicine cabinets. These pharmaceuticals typically are used for medicinal or “good” purposes; however we are starting to see an alarming trend of abuse of this medicine. According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, nearly 7 million Americans abuse prescription drugs. That’s more than the total number abusing cocaine, heroin, ecstasy and other drugs – and the number has increased 80% in the past 6 years.

Prescription drug abuse cuts right across all sectors of the community: from young teens to the elderly, from high school students and college students to health professionals like doctors, nurses and veterinarians. It can affect the unemployed in economically depressed areas to the wealthiest of Hollywood celebrities.

People fail to realize the significant impact medications have on our body chemistry. When they are taken in a non-prescribed fashion outside that which is intended by the manufacturer, or in combination with other substances like alcohol, pharmaceuticals can be hazardous and even deadly! Prescription drug abuse and misuse has silently risen to become one of the most serious prevention issues in the country. Read the rest of this entry »

Simple Accidents or Insurance Scam? INSIDE EDITION Investigates

Is Jonathan Jones the worst driver in America? He has been in a whopping 42 accidents in the last nine years.

“Maybe I should have been more careful. Maybe…well, all right. I definitely should have been more careful,” Jones says.

But is there something else going on? Police have a video they say shows Jones’s white truck speeding through a Wal-Mart parking lot in North Carolina and deliberately smashing into another car.

“You smashed right into her,” INSIDE EDITION’s Chief Investigative Correspondent Matt Meagher tells Jones.

Police say Jones is a con artist who crashes into other cars to collect insurance money, always in parking lots.

“Police say that you were trolling those parking lots looking for people to smash into,” Meagher continues.

“No,” says Jones.

But police say video shows Jones’s truck circling the parking lot looking for a target. Alice Locklear and her daughter Crystal were in the car that got hit.

“He tried to say, ‘You hit me.’ And I’m like, ‘;No, you hit us,’ ” Crystal says.

INSIDE EDITION showed Crystal and her mother the video of the accident for the first time. “He was scoping us out!” Crystal says.

Jones denies committing any crimes, and says he’s not interested in making money off of insurance.

“The police say you made at least $10,000 off it,” says Meagher.

“I’d like to know where,” Jones replies.
