CHATHAM, Mich. (WZMQ) – The Alger County Sheriff’s Office is looking for information about possible victims after a search warrant on a home turned up date rape drugs.
ACSO says police raided a house on West Onota St. in Chatham on Jan. 19. Police found significant evidence of drug activity including methamphetamine and paraphernalia, as well as “a large quantity” of gamma butyrolactone (GBL).
