Arrests were made today because of a tip off police received. four salt lake city residents were taken into custody because of alleged drug paraphernalia, and cocaine was found in the apartment in the basement of a house located at 1532 south 1300 east.
This is still being investigated but because there was enough evidence in the house at least 1 person will be charged with possession of a controlled substance, and apparently there was more than enough to distribute. Police say that at least three people could be convicted in connection with the case.

Europeans debate castration
A recent debate in Europe has several people contemplating the types of rehabilitation for sex offenders. A European man, Pavel who asked not to have his full name disclosed, spent time in prison for killing a young boy after sexual abusing him; underwent surgery to get castrated for rehabilitation purposes.
"I can finally live knowing i am no harm to anybody" said Pavel.
Whether or not castration could in fact help sex offenders is under certain amount of scrutiny from the Anti-torture committee in Europe, the committee says that castration is "invasive, irreversible and mutilating." The Czech Republic is the only current country in Europe to allow for surgical, and chemical castration, there have been 94 prisoners so far that have undergone the surgery in the past decade.
Recently though in the United States Bobby Jindal, the Louisiana state Governor signed a legislative bill that would have some repeated sex offenders chemically castrated depending on the type of crime.
"I feel castration is a crime in itself, I would be angry even to the point of terrorist acts if i had no say in the matter, of what would happen to my body if i was ever in that situation." said Daniel Jensen a Utah Valley University student.
James Arnold another Utah Valley University student said "castration is the way to do it, maybe even a sex change take something away they can never get back."
Depending on the circumstance hopefully the Governments will come to some certain standing on castration and rehabilitation.
