Dangerously fraught…Christmas is a time for family, friends, and celebration.
Unless, of course, you’re accused of killing your boyfriend with a sword on Christmas Eve.
Then it’s just another day in court. That’s the position a Missouri woman finds herself in after her arrest on December 24, 2021.
They accused the woman of murdering her boyfriend.
Cape Girardeau police say Brittany Wilson, 32, was found outside the home she shared with her boyfriend Friday night covered in blood;
And a sword was lying in the yard.
The officers arrested Wilson, went inside the house, and found Wilson’s boyfriend, Harrison Stephen Foster, 34, dead of several stab wounds.
Wilson told police that she and Foster had taken methamphetamine earlier in the day.
She also told investigators she believed Foster had several other entities living in his body, and she was setting him free by stabbing him.
Taking methamphetamine…
Incredibly…They charged her with murder in the first degree and armed criminal action.
Why was that the case? I suppose it is because the drug is not used legally, and she took a life.
However, she and her boyfriend took the potent, highly habit-forming drug together.
Unfortunately, the demons provoked her to free her boyfriend from the other entities living within him.
She was under the influence of the drug. So, I doubt she planned to murder him in advance.
Perhaps he was not acting like his usual self, and she felt it was her duty to free him.
Both of them contributed to the events that occurred.
People say they have a quick rush of euphoria shortly after using it.
Simply put…I would not try any drugs to feel you are on cloud nine.
It is so sad that people get caught up in drugs and lose their way. While some kick the habit, others are not so lucky.
The aftermath of watching a loved one on drugs is devastating. You want to shake the hell out of them to wake them up.
At the same time, you know it is a losing battle trying to save someone that doesn’t want to be saved.
These drugs are dangerously fraught. They can damage your body and cause severe psychological problems;
Death is a result. Last year, they found my brother dead behind a building. It was days before his body was discovered.
Because of this, I won’t describe his body; I’ll say he had to be cremated.
I still feel like a failure because there was no way to reach him.
In any case, cocaine and fentanyl caused his death.
Who else is dying from these dangerously fraught?
There are dozens of stories like these on Google:
- There’s the 28-year-old man in Northern California who died after taking a fake pain pill that contained fentanyl.
- There’s the 11-month-old baby left unsupervised in North Carolina who died from a fentanyl overdose.
Both her mother and grandmother are facing charges.
A 15-month old’s father was charged with his overdose death in Southern California. A mother of a 1-year-old in Alabama was arrested after the child overdosed.)
- There’s the family of a prisoner in Alabama who died of a fentanyl overdose but didn’t find out until months later.
- There’s the teenager outside Los Angeles who bought what he thought were prescription painkillers from a friend of a friend and died from fentanyl poisoning.
- There’s the 25-year-old woman in Las Vegas who thought she was buying Percocet but died after taking fake pills with fentanyl.
- There’s the family of a prisoner in Alabama who died of a fentanyl overdose but didn’t find out until months later.
Then there is crystal meth.
In 2020, over 93,000 Americans died from drug overdoses, marking the most significant 1-year increase in overdose deaths ever recorded, according to provisional CDC data.
Rising overdoses involving synthetic opioids have primarily driven this increase, mainly the highly potent fentanyl.
Crystal meth is the common name for crystal methamphetamine, a strong and highly addictive drug that affects the central nervous system. There is no legal use for it.
It comes in clear crystal chunks or shiny blue-white rocks.
Also called “ice” or “glass,” it’s a popular party drug. Usually, users smoke crystal meth with a small glass pipe, but they may also swallow it, snort it, or inject it into a vein.
People say they have a quick rush of euphoria shortly after using it.
But it’s dangerous.
It can damage your body and cause severe psychological problems.
Where Does It Come From?
Methamphetamine is a man-made stimulant that’s been around for a long time. During World War II, soldiers were given meth to keep them awake.
People have also taken the drug to lose weight and ease depression.
Most of the crystal meth used in this country comes from Mexican “superlabs.”
But there are many small labs in the U. S. Some are right in people’s homes.
Making meth is a dangerous process because of the chemicals involved.
Along with being toxic, they can cause explosions.
How Does It Make You Feel?
The powerful rush people get from using meth causes many to get hooked right from the start.
That means they need higher doses to get the same high.
The higher the dose, the higher the risks. Get more information on how meth use affects the body.
In closing… fentanyl and crystal meth are dangerously fraught.
