Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Randy Hawes said he's been in touch with Solicitor-General John Les about it, and is hoping a solution can be found as soon as possible. Hawes said he has spoken to Les on the need for a "holding place for people that are in drug psychosis and considered dangerous." "They are violent and they are a medical problem . . . they're not a police problem, but the hospital's not equipped for that," he said. - --- MAP posted-by: Beth Wehrman
