Please get in touch with me....... and STOP IT!!!!! As for you "Elizabeth"...... evidently you don't have a so called "life" and as an "addict" why should I "believe" anything you state or say.
As for MEDICAL paying for your "dentures" you should have taken better care of your teeth..... and GET A JOB! Stop blaming someone else for your laziness.
Kenneth.... get a life..... If she had no interaction with you.... then don't comment, period and back off......if you don't know someone personally... then don't give your 2 cents... I don't want to hear from the peanut gallery!

kenneth, she was the dentist arrested for meth. and to rick, the syrup is by prescription only, so it is a controlled substance.

I was wondering what is illegal about codenine syrup. Is it more addictive than codeeight or codeten syrups?
Kenneth Huntley posted at 12:56 pm on Sat, Dec 24, 2011.
okay comment was previously deleted since the story was edited a smidge, so I'm going to ask again: is this the same Lavonne Sawyer who was a dentist that got arrested a few years back?

Why is there no general address given? ie: 200 block of West Pine
Most crime articles contain this info, as does the Police Log. C'mon LNS, be consistant! Our local village tattler is now slowly becoming a fishwrap. Poor journalism.
