Residents properly disposed of 190 pounds of unwanted or expired prescriptions and over-the-counter medications on Saturday, Oct. 28 as the St. Bernard Sheriff’s Office participated in the annual National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. Narcotics officers with the Sheriff's Office Special Investigations Division accepted the unwanted medications over a four-hour period at Walgreens on the corner of Judge Perez Drive and Paris Road in Chalmette. For those who could not make Saturday’s event, the Sheriff’s Office has a drop box for unwanted medications located in the lobby of the Paris Road substation at 4700 Paris Road in Chalmette.
