Rep. Dusty Johnson wants South Dakota to go tougher on drug dealers, repeat offenders
GOP candidate for governor taps law enforcement officials to lead offender task force
Rep. Dusty Johnson wants tougher penalties for drug dealers who distribute methamphetamine and fentanyl, while also vowing to create a task force to review how improvements can be made to stop repeat offenders from committing more crime.
Johnson, one of four Republicans vying for the GOP nomination for governor, unveiled his Safer South Dakota public safety plan on Tuesday. The plan includes a real-time monitoring system for drug overdose deaths, and he says schools should be required to notify parents when a student has a drug-related emergency.
The plan has the endorsement of top law enforcement officials.
