3 arrested in high-level drug operations near Ohio School System

Three people were arrested after a search warrant was made near an Ohio School System.

The Guernsey County Sheriff’s Office said their Investigations Division took down two high-level narcotics dealers while executing a search warrant in North Cambridge near Cambridge City Schools’ North Campus.

The Sheriff’s Office said they started the investigation of the large-scale drug trafficking operation near Cambridge City Schools in December 2023.

Sheriff Jeffrey Paden said during the operation they took down the main target but also another large-scale area dealer who is known to traffic methamphetamines who was in the area at the execution of the warrant. As a result, 1st-degree felony levels of narcotics, along with a firearm, and numerous items of drug trafficking evidence were seized.

The Sheriff’s Office also said, that during the raid, a child was also removed from the residence and is now in separate and safe care at the direction of Guernsey County Children’s Services.

“Within the past week, my office has taken down three separate large-scale narcotics traffickers in this county through two separate investigations. While I know the drug problem is an uphill battle, and there will always be numerous targets, we will continue to stay aggressive in eradicating the drugs.”
