Drug Situation: Mexican poly-drug trafficking organizations control a large majority of the distribution of methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, and heroin in Missouri. Various organizations with ties to Texas, Arizona and California continue to traffic in cocaine and heroin. In addition, small toxic methamphetamine laboratories are found in all areas of Missouri.
Cocaine: Cocaine remains readily available throughout the St. Louis area and is abused by all social and ethnic groups. Much of the cocaine is converted to crack and sold in the inner-city areas. Cocaine typically comes from sources of supply in Texas and California that are associated with Mexican international distribution organizations. Both cocaine HCl and crack cocaine are readily available in the Kansas City Metropolitan area. Hispanic traffickers control the wholesale distribution of cocaine, while many ethnic groups participate in retail level distribution.
Heroin: The evolving heroin situation in the St. Louis area, particularly the growing availability of higher-purity white heroin has become a significant concern to drug law enforcement in the area. Although Mexican black-tar heroin continues to be the most readily available type of heroin found in St. Louis, the higher-purity white heroin is encountered with increasing frequency. While low purity, Mexican black-tar heroin dominates the market, some high purity (64% and 69%) Mexican black-tar heroin has been noted in the recent past.The availability of heroin in Missouri outside of Saint Louis and Kansas City remains very limited.
Methamphetamine: Methamphetamine is widely available throughout all parts of the state, particularly in the rural areas. Imported methamphetamine, produced by Hispanic organizations in Mexico or the southwest United States, is brought into the state by Mexican couriers and distributed in St. Louis, Kansas City, and southeast Missouri. The imported methamphetamine has generally been lower in purity than the locally manufactured product. Enforcement groups in St. Louis continue to report the increasing presence of higher-purity crystalline “ice” methamphetamine in the area supplied from large scale laboratories based outside the state. Locally manufactured methamphetamine is available in all areas, especially in southwest Missouri. Most of the laboratories throughout Missouri are small, producing only ounce quantities.Laboratory operators have traditionally purchased precursor chemicals from retail outlets and steal anhydrous ammonia from farm supply stores and farms. In June 2005 Missouri passed legislation making products containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine a schedule 5 substance which can only be sold from pharmacies and places other limits and restrictions on purchases of these products. The effects of Missouri’s stringent controls of legitimate products that can be diverted to manufacture methamphetamine have yet to be fully assessed on these small local laboratories.
Predatory Drugs: MDMA (ecstasy) is available at dance clubs and colleges/universities throughout the state. It is brought into the state from Los Angeles, New York, and Miami. The availability of MDMA in the parts of Southern Illinois near St. Louis continues to increase. It is believed that MDMA organizations are increasingly targeting young adults in the Metro East area and expanding distribution beyond the traditional college and dance club venues. LSD is available in all parts of Missouri, but is not seen as a significant problem. GHB and Rohypnol continue to be available. While PCP is not cited as a significant problem, its availability has reportedly increased in St. Louis.
Marijuana: Marijuana is readily available throughout the state of Missouri and is usually found in combination with other drugs such as cocaine. Indoor marijuana operations continue to be found in the St. Louis area. Outdoor grow operations are found in the rural parts of the state, often on state or federal land. Ditchweed marijuana is found in western Missouri. Kansas City remains a significant staging area for Mexican marijuana shipped from cities on the southwest border to other parts of the United States. Mexican traffickers dominate the marijuana market in the Kansas City Metropolitan area. Marijuana cultivated indoors, to include hydroponically grown marijuana, continues to be a growing concern in the Kansas City area. This marijuana is in strong demand due to its higher potency.
Other Drugs: OxyContin continues to be the pharmaceutical drug of choice in the St. Louis area. It is favored by it’s users over street drugs such as heroin due to the consistent purity and quality. Law enforcement and treatment professionals report that the abuse of pharmaceutical drugs continue to be a major problem throughout the states of the St. Louis Division. After OxyContin, all of the states cite Hydrocodone products as the most commonly abused pharmaceutical substance. The most common methods for obtaining these substances continue to be doctor shopping, prescription forgeries, pharmacy break-ins, employee theft, and internet pharmacy websites.
Pharmaceutical Diversion: Current investigations indicate that diversion of hydrocodone products such as Vicodin®, and oxycodone products such as OxyContin® continues to be a problem in Missouri. Primary methods of diversion being reported are forged prescriptions, employee theft, pharmacy theft, illegal sale and distribution by health care professionals and workers, “doctor shopping” (going to a number of doctors to obtain prescriptions for a controlled pharmaceutical), and the Internet. Alprazolam, methadone, codeine, Adderall® and Ritalin® were also identified as being among the most commonly abused and diverted pharmaceuticals in Missouri.
DEA Mobile Enforcement Teams: This cooperative program with state and local law enforcement counterparts was conceived in 1995 in response to the overwhelming problem of drug-related violent crime in towns and cities across the nation. Since the inception of the MET Program, 473 deployments have been completed nationwide, resulting in 19,643 arrests. There have been 11 MET deployments in the State of Missouri since the inception of the program: Sikeston, Fountain Park, St. Charles County, Audrain County, Crystal City, Berkeley, Hannibal, Franklin County (2), Joplin, and Springfield.
DEA Regional Enforcement Teams: This program was designed to augment existing DEA division resources by targeting drug organizations operating in the United States where there is a lack of sufficient local drug law enforcement. This program was conceived in 1999 in response to the threat posed by drug trafficking organizations that have established networks of cells to conduct drug trafficking operations in smaller, non-traditional trafficking locations in the United States. As of January 31, 2005, there have been 27 deployments nationwide, and one deployment in the U.S. Virgin Islands, resulting in 671 arrests. There has been one RET deployment in the state of Missouri since the inception of the program, in Springfield/Joplin.
Special Topics: The St. Louis Homicide Initiative was created by DEA St. Louis and the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department to address and combat the city’s increase in drug related homicides. The objectives of this initiative are to identify violent organizations involved in drug trafficking activity and to develop investigative leads by use of court authorized telephone intercepts to clear unsolved homicides and related crimes. Missouri is crossed by a number of interstate highways (Interstates 44, 64, and 70 from east to west; 35 and 55 from north to south), providing excellent smuggling routes for drug trafficking organizations. During 2004, highway interdictions in Missouri led to seizures including approximately 500 kilograms of cocaine, 950 grams of heroin, 16,400 pounds of marijuana, 9 pounds of methamphetamine HCl, 3.5 pounds of crystal methamphetamine, 48 ounces of PCP, 500 dosage units of LSD, 50 pounds of psilocybin mushrooms, and over $3.5 million dollars.
