"The reason we don't think the number of meth cases is completely accurate is because that figure includes all amphetamines," TBI spokeswoman Jennifer Johnson said. "A lot of the meth cases are worked by joint task forces, and often each agency thinks the other agency reports it." - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
