Darke County Sheriff
Multiple Drug
Trafficking Arrests in Darke County
On March 1, 2017 at approximately 6:45 AM Darke County Sheriff’s
Deputies and the Union City, Ohio Police Department executed arrest
warrants on eight subjects with felony indictments for drug
trafficking. This operation was a drug arrest round-up throughout
Darke County, the City of Greenville and Union City, Ohio. Arrest
warrants for more than fifteen people have been issued on indictment
for drug trafficking by the Darke County Grand Jury as presented by the
Darke County Prosecutor’s Office. The indictments stem from over
6 months of drug investigations by the Darke County Sheriff’s Office
Drug Investigation Unit. Charges on these indictments include
Trafficking in Fentanyl, Heroin, Methamphetamine, Cocaine and
Marijuana. At least 10 of the cases included trafficking in
Heroin. Ten (10) of the subjects have prior criminal histories,
with six (6) of them being prior drug charges. It is important to
note all of these indictments were for trafficking also known as
dealing in drugs. Five subjects were already in jail on other
charges at the time the warrants were issued.
As of 8:45 AM this morning there have been a total of 13 people held in
jail pending arraignment on these indictments. Two additional
subjects were arrested during this time on bench warrants unrelated to
the trafficking cases and happened to be present during the arrest of
the others. Those arrested in Darke County are being held in the
Darke County Jail pending arraignment through the Darke County Court of
Common Pleas. Arrests will continue until all those indicted are
brought to justice.
Darke County Sheriff Toby Spencer wants to send a strong message to
drug dealers that this criminal activity will not be tolerated in our
community. The Darke County Sheriff’s Office will continue to
vigilantly enforce drug laws with the support of the citizens through
out Darke County.
