After Attorney General Luther Strange moved to ban bath salts this week, the local crackdowns have begun. Agents with the Etowah County Drug Enforcement Unit and area law enforcement officers have already seized the drug from local stores shelves. These bath salts aren't the type sold in bath and body stores, but instead refer to the chemicals they contain. Rusty Payne with the Drug Enforcement Agency says its a nationwide problem.
Area convenience stores and other retail stores were given a warning by Etowah County District Attorney Jimmie Harp to immediately stop selling bath salts. There were no arrests or citations issued on the day of the ban (Tuesday), but now those caught will face felony charges.
