Statement: “If you want to buy crack and you’re living in Poway, you’re going to 17th and K,” Bob McElroy, president of the nonprofit Alpha Project, told voiceofsandiego.org for a story about drug activity in the southeast corner of the East Village.
Analysis: Obviously McElroy doesn’t know if every Poway resident seeking to buy crack goes to 17th and K, so we want to analyze the statement’s implication: The downtown area is a regional hotspot for the drug trade.
