Meth addicts seem to be collecting arrowheads

`The time-consuming and methodical motion of searching for arrowheads on farmland and in riverbeds seems to appeal to methamphetamine addicts, a sheriff says.

White County Sheriff Pat Garrett said that after more than 100 search warrants, he has come to expect arrowheads, many thousands of years old, when he storms the home of suspected meth makers. [..]

“You get kind of wired on that stuff, and you need to have something to do,” said Mr. Young, who is in the White County jail awaiting trial on methamphetamine charges. [..]

“The strangest things you find out there is other dopeheads,” said Mr. Young, who added that drug dealers and users often trade the arrowheads among themselves.’
