Published March 01, 2009 12:25 am - March Against Meth Day to honor slain trooper Monday is the 4th annual March Against Meth Day in Oklahoma.
Students across the state of Oklahoma will be invited to participate. March Against Meth is a tribute in honor of Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper David “Rocky” Eales, according to a media release. Eales was killed in the line of duty Sept. 24, 1999 while trying to serve a search warrant at a residence in rural Sequoyah County. Eales was involved in drug interdiction with the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs during his career. This day has been chosen to raise awareness about the dangers of methamphetamine use. Law enforcement officers throughout the state will distribute 67,000 special wrist bands along with a DARE Parent Alert letter regarding methamphetamine. This is a commemorative and educational effort to raise awareness. March Against Meth is partnering with Crystal Darkness Phase II meth education. Oklahoma is continuing the fight in the war on drugs by leading the nation in a day of honor and awareness. Oklahoma was the first state to pass a tough, ground-breaking meth law that started ripples throughout the nation, according to the release.
