Ind. Courts - Noble drug court bumps starting date to Dec. 20
Kara Lopp of the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette reports:
Noble County will start its drug court program a few weeks ahead of schedule, court officials said Friday.The program for drug addiction rehabilitation was given a stamp of approval Thursday by the Indiana Judicial Center and the first drug court hearing in the county will be at 9 a.m. Dec. 20.
Noble Superior Court 2 Judge Michael Kramer, who will oversee the program, said the approval couldn’t have come at a better time, with focus in the county on decreasing the use of methamphetamine. Thursday was the first National Methamphetamine Awareness Day.
County officials had planned to start in January, Kramer said, but moved the start up after they found out last week they didn’t have to wait until then. The county can run the program for six months and will be re-evaluated by the judicial center to get a longer three-year approval.
