For years, deputies at the Weber County Sheriff’s Office — trained to detect people on drugs — reported that their evidence room technician was high on methamphetamine.
They pointed to numerous times she struggled to maintain balance; how she could never find evidence; her perfuse sweating or inaudible rambling; the white residue pooling in the corners of her mouth.
They said her appearance had changed. She cut all her hair off and replaced it with a “cheaply made wig.” She stopped showering and began picking at her face, eventually causing scarring. These were classic signs of a drug user, deputies said.
