Wabash County Unique in Heroin Use

Law enforcement officials in Wabash County are battling an unusually high incidence of heroin use. Police say residents regularly travel to Chicago, where they buy enough heroin for themselves, plus some extra to sell back home to cover their travel costs. A Fort Wayne clinic that treats people from throughout northeastern Indiana for heroin addiction says Wabash County provides as much as 15 percent of its clientele. Police in neighboring Kosciusko and Huntington counties say they haven't seen evidence of any significant heroin use in their counties.
