ANSONIA - On July 5th, 2011 at approximately 9:35 PM, the Darke County Drug Task Force, in conjunction with Deputies from the Darke County Sheriff's Office arrested Lorraine Combs, 40, of West Manchester. Narcotics Detectives received an anonymous complaint of a meth lab at 2632 State Route 47 in Ansonia. Upon the arrival of deputies, several ingredients used the manufacturing of methamphetamine were found. Due to the hazardous conditions that may occur when dealing with a meth lab, the Ansonia Fire Department and Ansonia Rescue Squad were requested to the scene. Also called to the scene for assistance with the dismantling of the meth lab were officers from the Eaton Police Department and the Attorney General's BCI&I. A private contractor had to be contacted to remove the material to a safe site.
Ms. Combs was arrested at the scene and taken to the Darke County Jail. Ms. Combs is being held without bail until her initial appearance for a charge of illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for manufacture of drugs. During the time of this investigation, deputies also found small children in the residence ranging in age from 5-9 years old. Ms. Combs is currently on parole from a 2008 drug arrest in Darke County where she was convicted of Illegal Manufacturing of Drugs.
This investigation remains active at this time.
Congrats and Thanks to all involved for taking another druggie off our streets.
ReplyDeleteAlso congrats to all involved. Especially to the tipster. It takes a strong backbone to turn someone in even if it is anonymously. If more people stepped up when they know of something like this, maybe it would give the druggies something to worry about and hopefully there would be less of it going on.
ReplyDeleteDrug task forces like this don't solve the drug problem. Why should we waste law enforcement tax dollars on people who decide to harm themselves? Drug addiction is a medical problem. If the person taking the drugs is chemically dependent, they will most likely continue to use the substances. Apparently, the US isn't mature/smart enough to realize this. Maybe the gov't should tell you what types of foods you should or shouldn't eat based off of a physical exam, and tax you accordingly. Why should we be putting our sons and daughters in jail who may need to be dealt w/ medically instead of criminally?
ReplyDeleteYeah great thinking! Why go after people running a meth lab so they can sell to kids or other citicens. They are just trying to get by. Give me a break. I hope the poster saying why arrest people like these two women was being sarcastic. Then they claime that they have the mature/smart way to deal with drug dealers or producers. Why have laws at all? Just do your own thing and never worry about anything. Party on!
ReplyDeleteSadly, not nearly enough of these druggies are overdosing and killing themselves off fast enough.
ReplyDeleteIt amuses me how the obvious friends and family members of these druggie losers get on here and vote down any comment against them. Who else would stand up or try to defend the letchs of society that are these people?
ReplyDeleteI could care less about whathappens with a druggie, problem with meth labs is, it can affet innocent people, the chemicals used in making meth give off harmful fumes that can remain in the room or building that they use.
ReplyDeleteThe drug war has been going strong for over 30 years and still no progress.
ReplyDeleteThe war on poverty has been going on for over 50 years and you don't hear people yelling to stop that. Should we legalize heroin, meth cocaine maybe? Why worry about bath salts?I am all for using a treatment based approach. That however does not mean you can allow two women to be making and selling meth in this area. The drug task force is to be commended.
ReplyDeleteAll these illegal drugs have blood, pain and sorrow attached to them remember that
