Judge praises Perry war on drugs;
lashes efforts in neighboring city
By VETO F. ROLEY
Staff Wrltar
While Warner Robins might
have a problem with drugs,
Houston County Superior Court
Judge L.A. McConnell told the
Perry Exchange Club Thursday that
Perry only had a small drug prob
lem.
"Perry has got a pretty good
handle on it," said McConnell.
"There are still pockets of drug
dealers in Perry; but, if Mike Pheil
hasn't got them, he will get them.
"Most of the families (that deal
in drugs in Perry) have been
brought in," continued McConnell.
"They (the Perry Police
Department) knows who it is (still
dealing drugs), and it is just a mat
ter of time before they are brought
in."
McConnell told the Exchange
Club that the reason Perry was
more fortunate than Warner Robins
was because of the disorganization
of the Warner Robins Police
Department in the wake of black
mail convictions on the part of
Warner Robins Mayor Ed Martin
and Police Chief Johnson.

Another problem facing Warner
Robins, said McConnell, was the
revamping of the city's anti-drug
force. He said that Warner Robins
had three officers on the drug squad,
where they had eight in the past.
"There is a real problem in
Warner Robins," said McConnell.
However, McConnell said that

when Warner Robins got its act to
gether in the drug squad, the
Houston County Correctional
Institute would be put under severe
pressure with more inmates.
Currently, said McConnell,
Houston County has just over 160
prisoners under its jurisdiction,
with around 35 being housed out
side the county. Of the prison pop
ulation, 35-40 are waiting for room
to clear up in the state prison sys
tem.
"If they (Warner Robins) had the
(anti-drug) capability, we could
double the jail census in a week or
so,” said McConnell, who added
that 50-75 percent of the jail popu
lation was there because of drugs or
drug related crime.
"I don't see any relief in the near
future," McConnell told the
Exchange Club. "There is not much
we can do about pressure on the
system. There are no easy solu
tions."
Despite the pressure on the jails,
McConnell said he would continue
to resort to prison sentences. "If we
somebody that needs to be in jail,"
he said, "they will be in jail."
