I haven't caught up from today's tweets and comments but something came to mind reading your post Random regarding MS's shoulder injury and DM's jailhouse letters to CN. DM claimed MS (and MM) had recently started using OxyContin In one letter DM claimed MS was going to stop "using" on the days he worked with DM and gave DM a bottle of pills/Oxys. Could it be that MS's doctor had put him on Oxys for his shoulder pain? I think MS's shoulder problem could have been legit with MS but totally a lie from DM. Perhaps MS had found himself beaten/shoulder injury for a drug deal gone wrong, or when he was arrested (taken down?) by an officer for doing graffiti on the overpass? MOO.
From DM's letter: He said he would come ever day with Dell to work to help him with his day. Dell said ok, but that Mark would have to quit doing Oxy on the days they would work. Mark said he would. Dell didn't believe him, so Mark went inside and came back with a clear pill bottle three quarter full of orange oxy pills. Here Mark said you can keep my stash to keep me honest. Mark took two out and said they were for tonight and handed Dell the bottle.
You know that most of what Millard says in those letters is a fabrication right? Here's a loose translation; "you know that bottle of Oxys that Dell keeps in the toolbox? Let's say that Mark gave them to Dell and make Mark out to be a druggie."
