Just today, July 4, she and her husband Scott walked outside their front door and came upon a discarded tent and used needles. It was unnerving but her husband cleaned up the needles and took the tent next door to Arthur Hatton Elementary school, where people have been camping out since summer started. “Scott walked over there and saw a man and a woman passed out, both with needles still stuck in their bodies,” Amanda explained.
