DRUG ARRESTS
If you missed it over the weekend:A more than two-year investigation led to the arrest of 22 key individuals allegedly involved in Coatesville's drug trade. Among those arrested: Richard Legree Jr., who was on house arrest at his father's home when captured Thursday. And several of those arrested were former Young Guns members.
While the long-term, full-time investigation proved to be fruitful, more operations like it may not be happening any time soon here, due to upcoming layoffs. The layoffs will put detectives in patrol cars and eliminate the Coatesville Police Department's detectives and drug units, according to several sources familiar with the plan.
While the district attorney has pledged to assist in any way he can, his office cannot provide the manpower to continue such operations.

Well, Chief Matthews shows his true colors today in the DLN statement he provided. He was brought in to reduce the embarrassment that so many of Coatesville's so-called black leaders feel when they see their sons, nephews, cousins,uncles, baby's daddies and neighbors' mug shots published for drug dealing and other crimes. Don't just arrest them, every law enforcement officer knows that it doesn't do any good. Apparently he is prepared to bring some new, revolutionary theory of rehabbing drug dealers to the streets of Coatesville. You can almost hear Patsy talking about those poor, misunderstood boys who just got caught up in the system, we got to do something about those bad white cops arresting them, etc. Solution: don't hire a perfectly qualified Philly cop, he might actually believe it is good to arrest criminals! Get me someone who really hasn't been a street cop, a forward thinking individual who is a "better fit" for the community! Maybe then we won't have so much crime. Surreal, ain't it?
here is a great Idea ledt the man who has one of the biggest drug dealers in him home run the police force. What a joke our little city has become
