Law Enforcement Hands Down 19 Late Night Drug Indictments in Harrison County

Posted: Updated:

Area law enforcement agencies have teamed up to catch the Ohio Valley's most dangerous criminals.

After a six month investigation by the Harrison County Sheriff's Office, the LEAD Drug Task Force and the Cadiz Police Department, 19 indictments were served late Friday night.

There are six suspects being charged with trafficking and possession of drugs. Rachel Keller, Lisa Keper, Timothy McDonald, Michael Rodgers, Joseph Struothers, Jennifer Church, and William Kogar.

Harrison County Sheriff Ron Myers said the focus of the investigation was to catch suspects wanted for selling controlled substances like cocaine, crack, heroin and other drugs.

Sheriff Myers said "Don't sell drugs in Harrison County, Don't buy drugs in Harrison County."

That was their biggest emphasis with this investigation.

Sheriff Myers also said that prescription pill use in the county has been on the rise and that's another main concern for the bust.
