"I KNOW WHAT got me here," Weddle told the court. 'rhere's not much I can say." What got him in the orange jumpsuit worn by inmates at the Washington Corrections Center in Shelton was a variety of charges having to do with meth- amphetamine and stolen proper- ty. He told Sawyer that he's de- termined to kick the drug habit. "That's easy to say when you're sitting here in orange coveralls. It gets tough when you get out," the judge replied. "You need to start lining up your support systems out here in the community."
