DeWine releases results of state-wide drug bust
COLUMBUS -- Coordinated drug busts across the state in the weeks before schools started this month resulted in more than 400 arrests and the seizure of millions of dollars in cash and illegal narcotics, according to a report released by Republican Attorney General Mike DeWine Wednesday.
The overall effort was dubbed Operation OTFCA, the acronym standing for the Ohio Task Force Commanders' Association, which helps to coordinate efforts among drug task forces across the state.
"Our drug problems aren't about one person, one task force or one community," Jeff Orr, a detective in the Trumbull County Sheriff's Office and president of the group, said during a morning press conference in Columbus. "They are about all of us, together, uniting to make a change...."
DeWine said the first effort of its kind involved nearly 400 officers executing 108 search warrants in 36 different counties, with 409 people arrested and facing more than 900 criminal charges, most of them drug related.
Of the latter, 224 were related to heroin, 140 to cocaine, 110 to prescription drugs, 82 to marijuana and 51 to meth. Total drugs seized included 3,921 grams of heroin, 4,448 grams of meth and 4,500-plus grams of cocaine and crack.
Additionally, investigators collected 6,007 prescription pills, 45 vials of steroids, 288 pounds of marijuana and 3,124 marijuana plants.
Orr said more than 100 pounds of marijuana, from California and marked for medicinal use, was confiscated in one raid in Lake County, along with $600,000 cash, cars and firearms.
Investigators also seized $1.3 million in cash and found what appeared to be human bones in a fire pit at an Ashtabula home.
DeWine said the work of the task force is playing a significant role in keeping pressure on dealers and removing illegal drugs from the state.
"This is the worst drug epidemic I've ever seen, and I've been involved in law enforcement since the early '70s," he said. "Heroin and other opiates are ripping apart thousands of families every year in this state. They have a huge economic impact, because there are so many people today who can't get a job, certainly [can't] get any kind of permanent job, because they can't pass a drug test. So we see the horror and the tragedy connected with families...."

I thought the body in the fire pit was pretty odd.
Ohio has been rampant with shit lately. It is good to see out of all these busts, they were targeting harmful and deadly drugs....sad to see they targeted any MJ, but they want that skrill.

Well, i guess they gotta carry out the laws while their citizens still decided to vote against legalization of marijuana.

It's not going to do shit. There is a market, it will be supplied. How long have you posted here, you haven't yet noticed prohibition is a huge waste of time?

Hopefully they'll go really easy on the guys who just had pot. Allegedly (and I mean allegedly, I can't find his name through Google I just heard it through friends and I don't live there) one of my friends was busted in this sweep for a bunch of pot plants and stuff to make oil.

our countries politics on pot is so ridiculous right now... one side of the country you are getting fucking put in prison for growing plants and exacting oils to get safely stoned from, while on another side of the country we just got told we can grow it legal and so everyone and their uncle could have a pot plant in my state and make their own wax. its chill...chill as fuck, its crazy it took this long, oh well, ohio'll figure things out eventually.
Lol coming back to say not even sides of the country! BORDERS! freaking what if your house and yard was built split down a state border? what happens then? can you smoke and possess in one room and not the other?

Well, I can agree with not letting everyone make oil. It can be dangerous and some people are idiots. They'll hurt other people, not just themselves. There's always the rosin TEK though.

For all of the money, time and energy which went into that they walked away with piss all amount "narcotics." They arrested 409 replaceable nobodies. Congradufuckinlations. There's officially 409 new people who the mexicans do business with now.

So true. Absolutely nothing changed except 409 lives are trapped in a cage. And another 409 are probably trapped in some of their own DIY cages .

If they went after just a single crew of mexicans they could walk away with that much dope and most likely more. It's only 6-8 people you need to target. Same results with 100 times less tax payers money and police time. I think these "busts" are supposed to encourage people but it's just embarrassing. In the end it makes no difference though, they'll just send another guy up from nayarit and resume business as usual.

Reading comprehension. I said targeting harmful drugs.....there's not a slew of lsd or mush busts. I think all drugs should be legal. Since the drug war is going to carry on, it's better to know they are at least targeting people of danger. It sucks any of my tax dollars go to this

The violence that comes from criminalizing drugs is terrible. Both police and "crooks" are incentivized to do great harm to each other and peaceful, non-violent drug users and merchants.
What a messed up situation. I hope legalization indeed sweeps across America but I'm concerned there will be a pendulum swing back in the other direction before that happens.

Harmful is subjective. Even water will kill you if the dose is high enough. People of danger... Give me a break. This isn't going to change availability, this is just ruining a bunch of lives of people that all had their own reasons to do what they were doing. They sell a product people choose to consume, your after school rhetoric isn't going to win you any points on here.

Agreed, almost none of these people deserve jail except maybe the one with the human remains.
