Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine says hundreds of pounds of prescription drugs were collected over the weekend in Scioto County, an area hit hard by drug overdose deaths. Collection sites at grocery stores in Portsmouth and Wheelersburg gathered a total of 318 pounds of prescription drugs from residents for disposal. Dozens of county residents have died over the past decade from overdoses attributed to painkillers and many more have been treated for addiction.
