Convicted Drug Traffickers

Almost everyday you can pick up the local newspaper and read the police and court blotter and note someone being arrested for a drug related crime.  Our County is fighting in, what sometimes seems, a never ending war on drugs.  Heroin, in particular, is ruining the lives of families throughout Ohio, as was recently documented in the New York Times.  The Times article demonstrates that the abuse of Heroin in our communities has grown rapidly over recent years and has proven to have deadly consequences.  Our local law enforcement agencies are working tirelessly to get drugs and offenders off the streets of our neighborhoods, but they need the help of the community. 

I am often asked if there is a listing somewhere of individuals who have been convicted of Trafficking in Drugs, much like the existing Sex Offender Registry, so that citizens might be aware of who their neighbors are and the dangers they pose.  With that request in mind, my office has created the following list of convicted Drug Traffickers.  All of these individuals have been convicted by the Hardin County Court of Common Pleas.  If you suspect someone of using or selling drugs, please contact law enforcement--do not attempt to handle the situation on your own, as these individuals are often dangerous.
