Houston Evidence Room Overrun by Drug-Addicted Rats

Rat Infestation Compromises Houston Police Evidence Room: The evidence room in Houston is dealing with a rodent infestation, where rats have been consuming stored narcotics, possibly affecting more than 3,600 cases. The problem was identified last October, leading officials to dispose of outdated drug evidence. Justice Implications: The presence of rats in Houston's evidence room could undermine multiple drug cases, prompting worries about legal credibility. Authorities are actively working to resolve the situation and deter similar incidents in the future.
