Williams County, N.D. Sheriff Scott Busching sits at his desk in Williston, N.D. on Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2014. Years ago, homegrown meth was a scourge in North Dakota but its supply was sharply reduced by a crackdown on "mom-and-pop" meth labs and legislation that made it harder to buy ingredients. These days, the drug trade looks a lot different. Meth is still most common, but most of it originates in Mexico and is more potent. Heroin is more visible, something that "scares me," says Busching, who says he'd probably rate the drug problem in his county a 7 on a scale of 10. (AP Photo/Martha Irvine)

Williams County, N.D. Sheriff Scott Busching sits at his desk in Williston, N.D. on Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2014. Busching says the new county jail, which he oversees, is already overcrowded, with much of the crime tied to alcohol abuse and illegal drugs. He attributes the increase in crime to the growing population brought in by the latest oil boom in the region known as the Baaken, which includes northwest North Dakota and northeastern Montana.
