Is meth farther out of reach in Nebraska?If you use Sudafed tablets for cold or allergy problems, an extra step or two will now be required before the product is sold to you at the local Hy-Vee grocery store. Other area stores also are making it more difficult to buy products that could be used to manufacture methamphetamine.
Corporate officials at Hy-Vee Inc. in Des Moines, Iowa, announced Thursday that several measures have been put in place in all of the 219 Hy-Vee and Drug Town stores. Those measures will restrict access to several over-the-counter products that can be illegally used to make meth.
"It's a cheap drug to produce and highly addictive," Hy-Vee Store Director Mitch Streit of Columbus said.
About 14 cold and allergy products - that come in tablet or capsule form and have relatively high levels of pseudoephedrine - were moved Monday from floor shelves to behind the Hy-Vee pharmacy counter.
Customers will be limited to buying only two of the products per visit and will have to sign a log to document the purchase.
The names will be shared with law enforcement officials if requested.
"We just want to make it as hard as we can for people that use that drug," Streit said.
Sudafed, as well as the other restricted products - such as Dimetapp Extentabs, Dibromm Extended Release tablets, Drixoral 12-Hour Cold Tablets and Hy-Vee's Suphedrine brand tablets - contain more than 30 milligrams of pseudoephedrine, which can be cooked down by meth makers to extract ephedrine, a key ingredient in meth recipes.
Streit said so far there haven't been any customer complaints about the store changes. But as of early Thursday afternoon there also hadn't been any requests for the medications - most likely because there are still many products on the aisle shelves that are not affected by the new restriction.
He said pediatric and other liquid decongestants were among the products not affected. Although some of these products contain pseudoephedrine, they're considered too expensive or time-consuming for most meth cooks to bother with because of the low dosage of the drug.
Moving the 14 products to behind the pharmacy counter is also expected to reduce the number of shoplifting incidences involving those products. Since relocating to Columbus about seven months ago, Streit has twice seen instances when shoplifters picked up multiple packages of pseudoephedrine products but were caught in the act.
Hy-Vee CEO Ric Jurgens said in a news release that some Hy-Vee stores had already placed pseudoephedrine products behind the pharmacy counter before the corporate mandate went into effect. Streit said that in his previous job in the Kansas City area, pseudoephedrine products were not displayed in the regular store aisles.
Columbus retailers have been aware for several years of meth manufacturing and subsequent use of cold remedies as an ingredient.
In April 2001, the quick-thinking of a Super Saver employee resulted in arrests for possession and attempted manufacture of meth. Law enforcement was called after the Super Saver employee noticed a man taking eight packages of a generic cold medication off the shelf. Two men were arrested at a nearby parking lot where they had parked their semitrailer truck and were apparently preparing to make the drug. An information sheet posted in the Super Saver employee break room alerted the employee to products used in the manufacture of the drug. According to police reports at the time, the men purchased packages of cold medicine in four or five local stores, buying five to 12 packets at each stop.
Store Manager Rich Schlickbernd said this morning that Super Saver clerks are still trained to recognize what could be purchases of meth ingredients. Store shelves are stocked with a limited supply of the high-content pseudoephedrine products. Those shelves are closely watched - not only because they are positioned in full view of staff members - but because they are monitored by a video camera 24 hours a day.
"If anything looks out of the ordinary, then we get real suspicious," Schlickbernd said.
Clerks at Wal-Mart are also trained to recognize products used in manufacturing meth. In addition, cash registers are set to flag some of these products when purchased in quantities of two or more, according to local Wal-Mart Operations Manager Jason Duncan.
"And they're trained to make sure the customer doesn't come back (within a short period of time,)" Duncan said.
Columbus Police Chief William Gumm said meth is a problem here as it is in many Nebraska communities. He said the SNARE drug task force, a multi-county agency, devotes a lot of time investigating "homegrown meth" and imported meth.
"It's a problem," Gumm said. "But it's a problem we don't know the reverse of."
Gumm wonders how much of the product is being stolen from stores without the shoplifters being caught, but he is pleased retailers are taking steps to prevent it from happening.
"I would applaud retailers (who are trying) to control and prevent the theft of those ingredients," he said. "We applaud anything that they do to insure the products are properly sold."
According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, meth is an illegal stimulant also known as the poor man's cocaine, crystal meth, ice, glass and speed. Meth usually comes in the form of a white powder that easily dissolves in water, but is also seen as clear, chunky crystals, called crystal meth, or ice. In addition, meth can also be in the form of small, brightly colored tablets. Meth users inject, snort, smoke or ingest the drug.
