DARKE COUNTY DRUG TASK FORCE MAKES ARREST ON ILLEGAL ASSEMBLY FOR THE MFG. OF DRUGS  

On February 21, 2011 the Darke County Drug Task Force received information that a subject was seeking pre-cursor items (ingredients) for the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine.  Reports indicated that the suspect might be mobile and have the items in a vehicle.  At approximately 10:24 PM Darke County Sheriffs Deputies located the suspect vehicle, near SR49 and Ansonia-Elroy Road.  The vehicle was stopped for a traffic violation and while conducting an investigation Deputies located items commonly used in the manufacture and sale of methamphetamine.
 
Arrested at the scene was Christopher A. Silcott, age 37 of Greenville, Ohio.  Silcott was transported to the Darke County Jail and booked on charges of Illegal Assembly for the Manufacturing of Drugs.
 
This arrest comes on the heels of a February 6th, 2011 arrest where Silcott was charged and arrested for the Illegal Manufacturing of Drugs.  Silcott was out on bond for the February 6th charge when this incident occurred.

  3. The Eighth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution requires that bail not be excessive. This means that bail should not be used to raise money for the government or to punish a person for being suspected of committing a crime. Remember: The purpose of bail is to allow the arrested person to remain free until convicted of a crime, and the amount of bail must be no more than is reasonably necessary to keep the suspect from fleeing before a case is over.

    The fact that the guy got charged again should be no reflection on the judge's original decision on bond.

  4. DJ - appreciate you continuing to clarify how bond works. There are rules and guidelines that the judge work within. We need to understand and appreciate rather than hammer the judge.

  5. This "cat" won't give up! Hopefully when he goes to trial this can be brought up. Maybe then they can get him to understand, this is not acceptable here in Darke County?
