So, in October of 2010, Mitch Parrott was arrested for third-degree unlawful manufacturing of methamphetamine and criminal possession of a controlled substance. He was no stranger to police, having been through Chemung County's Drug Court program, and am been used as a poster-child for it. There was even a big piece in the Star-Gazette on him after he relapsed.Over the weekend, Mitch was arrested again for running a "suspected" meth lab - this time with only an ounce or so in his possession. He also had two guns and ab out $9,000 in cash. Now, I give anybody attempting to recover from addiction credit. Someone running the streets selling meth and putting everyone around him in danger while he makes it?Not so much.There was a rumor posted on the Star-Gazette that Mitch may have disclosed some information to skate on his charges in 2010. If true, that disturbs me greatly. I can understand how important an informant is in fighting the drug problem in this area, but exactly how much slack are they given? How many times do Mitch's neighbors have to see him come home and start up another operation?Normally, I wouldn't post anything like this, but I have a close friend who lives in his neighborhood and another friend called to the scene this weekend. Exactly how many lives are we going to put in danger here?

The police are always looking to step up the arrest with a bigger arrest. And one thing you can always, I mean, always count on is that some scumbag will spill his guts to get out of a pinch, or to get a lighter sentence. I mean, always. He gave someone else up that was dealing more weight than he was. That person might take a dim view of being rolled on.

I get that, Bill ... I totally get that. And turning him back out on the streets once or even twice, is understandable. He's on his third or fourth pass now, though - in under six years. Maybe he's spilling on the bigger dealers, but it seems to me he's just being given ammunition to run his own business.

He might be getting rid of his competition, which is always a worry. But if he is giving good intel, then it is worth it. The guy, really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, his info might though. Glad he isn't my neighbor, he would have a suspicious fire one night.

They always roll, 4th. They keep rolling until they can't roll any more. Sometimes it's better for LE to know who's dealing than not to know.
But you knew that already, didn't you?
