INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Unwanted prescription pills and liquids can be safely disposed of starting Friday.
The Indiana State Police Capitol Police Division is participating in a "drug take back" event Friday and Nationwide Saturday.

On Saturday the event includes all State Police posts and is designed to provide a safe way for the public to get rid of their unwanted prescription pills and liquids.
