At the Drug Store

My proposal for how to deal with cocaine involves having it sold through pharmacies, although this is not how it should be done:
HAVERHILL — A man and his girlfriend have been arrested for allegedly selling cocaine from the Walgreens Pharmacy on Main Street where the woman worked at the cosmetics counter.

Detective Sgt. John Arahovites said customers would call the drug dealer, identified as Luis Ledesma, 26, of 19 Arlington St., via cell phone and he would send them to the cosmetics department at the pharmacy, where they would meet up with his girlfriend, Enery Fernandez, 27, of 22 Nichols St.

Fernandez would then take the drug customer to the back employee hallway or the restrooms, where the drug transaction would take place, Arahovites said.
