Prescription Drug Take Back Day

UPDATE: The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office participated in the Prescription Drug Take Back Day on April 28, 2018.  As a result, ten boxes of unused and unwanted medication totaling over one hundred and thirty five pounds were collected. 
 
Leonardtown, Maryland – On Saturday, April 28, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office, in conjunction with the St. Mary’s County Health Department will give the public an opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.  Bring your pills for disposal to one of three locations: District 1 Station - 37575 Charlotte Hall School Road - Charlotte Hall, Sheriff’s Office Headquarters - 23150 Leonard Hall Drive – Leonardtown and St. Mary’s Square – 21600 Great Mills Road, Lexington Park.  (Please note: the Sheriff’s Office cannot accept needles or sharps.)  The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

 In past years, St. Mary’s County residents have turned in nearly 1.5 million prescription pills at multiple community events and sites operated by the Sheriff’s Office. Nationally, previous Take Back events, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice,  Drug Enforcement Administration and its partners have taken in over 8.1 million pounds—more than 4,050 tons—of pills.

 
This initiative addresses a vital public health and safety issue.  Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs.  Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards.

 
For more information about the disposal of prescription drugs or about the April 28 Take Back Day event, go to www.smartaboutmeds.org/disposal.

April-Distracted Driving Month

April is National Distracted Driving Month and on April 30, 2018, the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office conducted traffic enforcement along the Three Notch Road (Route 235) corridor from Great Mills Road to Route 4 in the Lexington Park and California areas.

 
Sheriff’s deputies made 17 stops and 19 citations were issued to drivers, including citations for talking on cell phones, for suspended drivers licenses and for suspended or expired registrations. Five citations were issued for speeding. One citation was issued for a mutilated driver’s license and one warning was issued for driving in a turn lane.

 
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that distracted driving took 3,450 lives nationwide in 2016 and 391,000 people were injured in 2015 in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers.


Distracted driving is any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle, fiddling with the stereo, entertainment or navigation system—anything that takes your attention away from the task of safe driving,” according to the NHTSA.   

 
The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office remains diligent in enforcing distracted driving and encourages drivers to stay focused on the roads and driving responsibilities.
