Blair County law enforcement agencies reported increased drug activity during the coronavirus pandemic, but in some cases, social distancing restrictions hampered their efforts.
“There were two issues that arose from the pandemic,” said Blair County District Attorney Pete Weeks. “We’ve seen more substance abuse, because of the stay-at-home orders and the circumstances brought on by decisions made during the (COVID-19) pandemic.”
The second issue law enforcement encountered was fewer impediments to drug traffickers moving through the community as lockdowns hindered house-to-house investigations, Weeks said.
Several metrics are used to track drug activity within communities, but for clarity and ease of access, the Altoona Mirror requested data from local law enforcement, measuring the number of possession with intent to deliver charges processed from 2018-20.

Altoona Police Chief Janice Freehling, the first woman to head the city department, is retiring, effective March 1, the 20th anniversary of her appointment as chief.
“I selected that date some time ago,” said Freehling, 67, who joined the force 44 years ago.
“If anybody has earned her retirement, it’s her,” City Manager Ken Decker said.
Freehling was “proactive at keeping people safe” and “cared very much for her officers,” Councilman Dave Butterbaugh said.
She put those officers “in position to succeed,” Butterbaugh said. He added that she worked well with council.
“If I had any questions or needed a clarification to understand something better,” she was always willing, he said. “She was a great teacher that way.”

In the wee hours of Dec. 17, about a foot of still-falling snow coated the ground outside Katrina Townsend’s Fourth Avenue home.
Despite the snowstorm and travel warnings from authorities across the state, Townsend’s husband, Luke, diligently cleared a path to the family’s car knowing at any moment they might need to leave post-haste.
Inside, Townsend counted the minutes between Blake Yohn’s contractions, noting the hour was now well past midnight and the contractions were becoming more frequent.
