Task force unveils 11 pounds of drugs

TIFFIN — The Seneca County Drug Task Force-METRICH Enforcement Unit, along with officers from the Sandusky County Drug Task Force, Columbus DEA and the Ottawa County Major Crimes Task Force, ended a three-month drug operation Wednesday involving methamphetamine, cocaine, crack cocaine and fentanyl. The Task Force's investigation was a collaboration that unveiled an illicit drug trafficking ring out of Columbus and into the Seneca and Sandusky county area, according to a release from the task force. The investigation led to the confiscation of approximately 11 pounds of methamphetamine, two kilograms of cocaine, four ounces of fentanyl, four ounces of crack cocaine and three firearms. The investigation was presented to a grand jury in Seneca County, which resulted in multiple indictments/arrest warrants for Justice Anthony Slane, 26, of Clyde. Slane was arrested on multiple counts of trafficking in drugs, two first-degree felonies and two third-degree felonies for his involvement in the drug trafficking ring. He was also arrested for an outstanding warrant on a failure to appear charge in Sandusky County.
