The Walgreens stores on Kennerly and Telegraph Roads are selling a large amount of pseudoephedrine, which is used to make meth.
The Walgreens on Kennerly Road was the second-largest seller of pseudoephedrine in Missouri in March 2012. Pseudoephedrine, which is contained in such sinus relief products as Sudafed and Actifed, is a key ingredient in the manufacture of meth. In South County and Fenton, a prescription is not required to purchase pseudoephedrine-containing medications. St. Charles and Jefferson counties require a prescription to purchase a pseudoephedrine product and Fenton is considering a prescription-only pseudoephedrine law. Attached to this article is a graph of meth labs that were discovered in St. Louis County in 2011 and below is the number of pseudoephedrine transactions for March in Missouri.

No one was injured.
O'Charley's closed Friday after a driver in a red minivan crashed through the front doors of the restaurant at approximately 5:15 p.m. The driver was trying to park the car when it jumped the curb and drove into the lobby. Ed Berkel, with the Mehlville Fire Protection District, said no one in the restaurant was hurt and the couple in the car refused to go to a hospital. The van drove through the double front doors and into the waiting area, cutting power and shattering the glass. The restaurant did not have any structural damage.

The precinct will not cost taxpayers any additional expenses.
St. Louis County Police Capt. Jim Schneider can’t host neighborhood watch meetings at the South County Precinct. He worries about the safety of crime victims who come in and may see suspects in custody. And his police officers don’t all fit in the same building. But a new, state-of-the-art police precinct is coming to South County, and will be located at 319 Sappington Barracks Road. County Executive Charlie Dooley, along with county officials and members of the police department, announced the new facility in a press conference Tuesday at the existing South County Precinct. “All of the cars, all of the radios, all of the officers will bet here at one time and one place, so that’s a good thing as far as efficiency, as far as response time…
