Richland County Common Pleas Court Judge James Henson was the guest speaker Monday at the Richland County Republican Club weekly luncheon at the Cafe on Main Street in downtown Mansfield.

Henson talked about the county's three speciality courts, the Drug Court, Re-entry Court and DUI Court. Henson said the Drug Court which was started over 20 years ago, is helping people with addictions get their lives back on track.

Last year 164 participants went through Drug Court saving the county almost $2 million in state incarceration costs.
