Attorney General of Guam Doug Moylan made a push for stricter laws to combat the meth epidemic before the business community. 

Moylan was the guest speaker at the Guam Chamber of Commerce general membership meeting earlier this week. 

“The business community is most affected by finding good employees, educated employees and employees that are not delusional and on meth. There’s so many people in our community that are on meth and it’s scary,” said Moylan. “You literally have to lock down your businesses with shutters, with things like almost military grade security to deal with the meth addicts.”

This comes as the AS recently authored an anti-crime bill, which Sen. Telo Taitague introduced.   

It's a broad bill that proposes stricter timelines for prosecutions, plea agreements that mandates permanent deportation, requires government officials to report suspected crime and implement 100% meth inspections at the port and more. 

“Our meth addicts who are usually non-violent when they begin, are now gradually turning into murderers. Every murder in 2024 was either an innocent victim, like the Korean tourist and the Valentine’s day murder, of a meth addict either trying to get money in order to get more meth or a meth addict or meth addict crime,” Moylan added.
