grounds of such facilities order to qualify for in zone charges What they don’t realize is that zones can overlay nearly an entire city (sec map of Ml Pleasant on Page A 1) In addition to schools and facilities churches clude public parks amusement recreation arcades centers parks shopping malls sports facilities stadiums arenas theaters parking lots or structures adjacent to any facilities or any other public parking facilities But what really puts teeth into zone statute is that the 000 feet of the any area within above facilities (as measured from property lines) is also classified as That means that a peror distributing son possessing drugs could be two blocks away from a church school or other facility yet still be in the zone This even applies to private residences within the t radius as illustrated by a case cur- of these rently making its way through Sixth District Court Dye of Wales was arrested and charged this summer with two felonies for distribution of methamphetamine and one felony for possession of the same drug leach those charges had been enhanced by one degree since the crime took place within 1000 feet of a church Dy e was not selling near the church Each of the offenses for which she was charged took place in her own home Yet because tlic home was in the zone the enhancements applied Even “internal possession" of (when a person tests positive for drugs

residents as clients "In Salt Lake County the zone statute isn't used as much as it is here (in Sanpete" Easton and other defense attorneys have misgivings about the statute believing that it is unfair because it gives law enforcement tx) much )ower to determine the location of the offense Sixth District Court public defender Paul Erischknecht says that he is aware of cases where police waited for a person suspected of having drugs to enter a zone before stopping to search and arrest them Easton says he is unaware of any specific cases of this but that he doesn’t doubt that it happens Even Judge David L Mower during a case involving zone offenses questioned deputy attorney Brody Keisel about the statute saying that there are very few places that are not within drug free zones “And that's just the way we like it your honor" Keisel replied Expressing the feeling of law enforcement officers and prosecutors he added "There is no reason to be distributing drugs in the
