Rescue mission gone wrong in father's vigilante war on heroin
The arrest of John Cramsey started out as a story about guns. But a closer examination reveals a tale about the American heroin epidemic.
On 21 June, Cramsey made international headlines after he was pulled over with two others on the New Jersey side of the Holland Tunnel in a truck filled with handguns, ammunition and long-range weapons.
It was a little over a week after the largest mass shooting in modern US history took place in Orlando, so speculation began immediately that the "heavily armed trio" was on its way to commit another act of violence.
But when Cramsey's friends back in Allentown, Pennsylvania, heard the news, they immediately called the incident a misunderstanding.
"He was rescuing a girl," says Lyn Baker. "We have a few people who've been very angry at his arrest. Some information has been misleading or just downright incorrect."
Baker and Cramsey are the co-founders of a group called Enough is Enough, which says it provides "family support, grief counselling and solutions" to Pennsylvania families dealing with opioid and heroin addiction. The state has seen a double-digit increase in the number of overdose deaths in recent years.
