Sheriff: Large amounts of drugs, cash seized during raid

Guernsey County deputies and detectives along with the CODE Task Force executed a search warrant shortly before 4 a.m. Friday, at a Klass Road residence.

The search warrant stemmed from an investigation by CODE investigators from Sheriff Jeffrey Paden's office due to suspected drug trafficking out of the home.

The sheriff’s office SRT was used to execute the search warrant and two men were taken into custody following the entry into the residence.

Investigators reportedly seized a very large amount of suspected cocaine, methamphetamines, heroin, LSD and pills as well as cash and firearms. A vehicle owned by one of the residents was impounded.

Both men, ages 54 and 57 of Cambridge, remain in the Guernsey County Jail pending the filing of formal felony charges. Paden, who was on the scene and assisted added, “If drug traffickers think my office is not going to continue to be proactive to rid these dangerous drugs from our community, we can discuss it further in my jail.”
