Selling heroin should = long jail terms

These folks selling heroin should be given tougher jail sentences. I believe the first time the person should be given probation/education. The second time caught and convicted, they should go away for a long time. To much of a revolving door to make getting caught a scary proposition. Anyway, great job law enforcement. Stay safe and keep up the good work.

Get these drug dealers

Nice to see these heroin dealers being locked up by the Sheriffs Dept. Keep taking the fight to these people who poison our society. Heroin has ruined many lives. The New Hanover county Sheriffs dept and the Wilmington police are doing a good job combating it.
