Teen pill abuse on the rise
Editor's note: This is the first in a four-day series on the local increase in prescription drug abuse. Pill abuse is on the rise among central Wisconsin's young people, with more students caught with drugs in school, more teenagers seeking treatment for addiction and more young people risking death to get high. Cases such as the Oct. 20 death of 14-year-old Tyler Trelka of Junction City, who overdosed on morphine and Vicodin at a party, illustrate how serious the problem has become, said Dr. Jerome Andres, a physician who recently spoke to Mosinee School District students and parents about prescription drug abuse. Andres said that when he was a teenager, students would attend farm parties to drink beer in out-of-the-way rural areas. Now, he said, teens have "pharm" parties, where they all bring pharmaceuticals, throw them in a big dish and take a handful.

Bronco arrested on DUI charge
Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall was cited for allegedly driving under the influence after he was spotted driving "erratically" early Monday, a Denver police spokesman said. It's the second time in less than a year that the football player has had a brush with the law. Police arrested Marshall at 14th and Blake streets at around 2 a.m. He was taken to a detox center and later released, said Detective John White. White did not say what Marshall's blood alcohol level was or whether he took a sobriety test. "He was driving erratically and was contacted by the officers," White said. The arrest came hours after the Broncos defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-28 on a Jason Elam field goal. Marshall led Broncos receivers in the game with six receptions for 77 yards.
