arrested on drug charge; pot, cocaine sold in Portsmouth, say police

Ok, here two guys from Andover and Epping were arrested for selling drugs in Portsmouth.  This doesn't really happen all that frequently so I bet the Portsmouth Police Department was excited to have something to do!  It's also kind of weird to think about people selling drugs in a place where you live because I like to think of Portsmouth as a pretty safe city (but, hey, I'm biased).  Another thing I noticed about this story was that is was very to the point and newsy.  Based on what we discussed in class I think this story could be spiced up a bit with some narrative.  Although it is an important story I feel the author could have gotten the information across to the reader in a more interesting way.  The lead was a typical news lead but I think there could have been some descriptions of the felons added to the story to brighten it up a bit.
