WILMINGTON — A local grand jury indicted a Blanchester-area man on charges alleging he trafficked fentanyl and meth.
Along with the two trafficking charges, 38-year-old Todd L. Burkhart of Blanchester was indicted on two charges alleging he possessed those same two drugs.
The alleged activity reportedly occurred in late November in Clinton County.
At the same session, members of the grand jury indicted Ronald L. Rowley, 55 of Blanchester, for allegedly trafficking in meth, possessing meth, and possessing a drug abuse instrument (hypodermic needle or syringe).
The alleged activity reportedly occurred in mid-November in Clinton County.
Grand jurors indicted Alexander E. Jones, 25 of the Midland area, on a charge alleging counterfeiting (felony of the fourth degree) and a charge alleging grand theft of a motor vehicle (an F4).
The wording in the counterfeiting charge speaks of passing or purchasing or similar actions, rather than manufacturing counterfeit money. The motor vehicle involved in the alleged theft is a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse.
