NYPD Suddenly Takes Drugs Very Seriously

Last night, New York police reportedly arrested four people in connection with actor Philip Seymour Hoffman‘s death, because while heroin is a serious national problem that sends hundreds of people to the ER each day and tens of thousands to their graves each year, we’ll be damned if we’re going to let it take our famous people from us. According to TMZ, three men and one woman were arrested after a source spilled the ecstasy beans on Hoffman’s dealer, who apparently had a reputation for selling people “cheap shit heroin” when his premium supply would run out. Hoffman allegedly bought “bundles of heroin” from his dealer twice a week, which would have made it more than likely that he’d receive the cheap shit and wind up in the situation he’s currently in. So if you’re the parent or loved one of someone who died from a heroin overdose, and you’ve been wondering what it takes for the police to go after the people pushing this poison, the answer is at least one Oscar.
