Navajo community worried about meth trafficking
Wednesday, October 20, 2004
Two recent drug busts have the Navajo community of Tuba City, Arizona, worried that they are becoming a trafficking corridor for methamphetamine.
In the past few weeks, Navajo police seized seven pounds of meth. The suspects were said to be outsiders, including a Mexican national.
Navajo Nation law currently does not ban methamphetamine. Tribal leaders around the country say the drug is becoming a problem on their reservations.
