"Having hosted previous prescription drug drop off events, I have been encouraged by the terrific response and the dozens of pounds of drugs that we have been able to keep out of the wrong hands, to help alleviate clutter for people, and to keep our environment clean," Windhorst said. "I appreciate the close working relationship we've developed with the Metropolis Police Department and the Massac County Drug Awareness Coalition."
