Meth continues to be the #1 issue in Barron County and we will continue to work with everyone in our community to put a stop to this. While we continue to offer programs like drug court, family drug treatment court and programs in our jail like Restart to help people overcome the addiction, we want everyone to know that selling of meth can and will result in time spent in prison.
