Two Arrested on Drug Charges


Johnson, Cantrell

On December 19, 2011 at approximately 4:25 p.m., the Darke County Drug task Force, along with members of the Greenville Police Department, conducted a narcotics investigation in the 800-block of Martin Street in Greenville.

As a result of the investigation, detectives recovered cocaine, crack cocaine, marijuana, cash, and a vehicle.

21-year-old D’Laquan Lavell Cantrell was arrested on drug trafficking and driving under suspension charges. 21-year-old Michael C. Johnson was also arrested on drug trafficking and drug possession charges. Cantrell and Johnson are from Dayton, and were incarcerated at the Darke County Jail. 21-year-old Todd Z. Cummings, also from Dayton, was cited for possession of marijuana and released. A fourth subject from Dayton was not charged.

Anyone with drug information is encouraged to contact the Greenville Police Department at 937-548-1103.

  1. More and more of this is coming from all over to Greenville. I am very upset. We need to hire more police officers and sheriff deputies!

  2. No surprise that these guys are not from here. It's happening all over, meaning that thugs from the cities are finding their way to the rural areas. More law enforcement really isn't the answer, although that isn't a bad thing.

    If we, as a community/area/county, really want to put a lid on this.... we need parents to step up and be parents to their kids. No matter where you live in Darke County, or where your kids go to school:
    *Know who their friends are.
    *Know where they are and who they're with.
    *If they're under 18, tell them to be home at a certain time and enforce it. If their plans change, make sure they call you.
    *Check-in with their teachers periodically to see how they're doing in-between grade cards.
    *Sit down and have a family supper at least 2 times a week.

    The second step would be to not be afriad to report suspicious activity if you see it, or suspect drug activity near you. These city thugs will start to head out if they know that they don't have a youth market, and if they know that the community makes an effort to rat them out.

  4. What's the matter 4:13? Scared of a person that suggests a pretty decent partical solution to a problem?

  5. Yes....4:02 is an ignorant, (obviously) childless part of the problem. Oh, and a trouble-maker that lives here on DJ stirring stuff up. He needs to get a life.

  6. Oops.... I mean 4:13, of course. He's a tool. :)

  8. Nice comment 4:02. It's too bad that so many of the "parents" are also the druggies, you know? You're right though. You have to be a parent to your kids. You can be their friend after they get to be in their 20's!

  9. What puzzles me is someone I know knew Mr Cantrell and she said he recently tried to steal a car in Dayton yet that does not show up on his history on the Darke County Sheriff web site. Does anyone know why?

  10. Hard telling 6:24. Sometimes that stuff is slow to show. That's a part of the overall problem... the computers sometimes miss information that would KEEP someone like him in jail longer!

  12. I live 245 miles south of Greenville and there's been drug bust here that involved dayton drug dealers. It's all over. Time the residents take a stand!!!!

  13. They (the out of town drug dealers) would not be here if there was no demand. We need to treat the drug user the first time they're busted. We need to encourage tough sentences for drug dealers from the judicial system when found guilty the first time.

    What to do with repeat offenders? I believe that additional treatment for addiction and additional jail time for repeat offenders does not work. I suggest an express lane be set-up at Lucasville to eliminate the problem. That should be a deterrent. If you do not agree with my suggestion, what is your answer.

  14. 12:37... you also make a great point as to other ways to get these guys off the streets, and yes, the users should have some tougher stuff put on them as well.
    I wish I had the answer, because it's a problem ALL OVER... rich, poor, educated, non-educated, good families, disfunctional families, religious, non-religious, famous and ordinary folks.
    I do believe that the task forces and eve (some) of the judicial system do the best that they can with the money available to them, and sentences within the local/state/federal laws. Like anything else, people who sell drugs, and people who are addicted to drugs will find a way to beat the system at every turn.
    Other than the post by 4:13, everyone seems to agree that it's a problem (and not just in Darke Co.), and that there just has to be a way to try and fix it.

  15. I think someone mentioned earlier that the I-75 corridor is the hot bed for drug traffic, and they are right. Detroit-Dayton-Cincinnati-Chattanooga-Atlanta-Macon, and right down to Miami. I convinced that if 75 were not so close to us, the drug problems that we do have would be much less.

  16. china, malaysia, singapore executed drug dealers, they have no drug problem

  17. Yes they do... but they still have huge problems. Look it up, they are no better off than we are in a lot of ways. People will find a way to deal & use no matter what.
