Crestline Man Arrested Following Two Narcotics Search Warrants
CRESTLINE, Ohio — A 61-year-old Crestline man was arrested Tuesday after authorities executed two search warrants connected to an investigation into the alleged use and sale of methamphetamine.
The Crestline Police Department and METRICH Enforcement Unit served the warrants on Sept. 9 at two Crestline residences: 103 E. Thrush Ave., Apartment B, and 128 E. North St.
The warrants were secured following a narcotics investigation involving suspected methamphetamine activity at both properties, according to Crestline Police Chief Jason Kitzmiller.
Police identified Larry Hall, 61, of Crestline, as the target of the investigation. Hall was arrested while officers served the warrants and was subsequently transported to the Crawford County Justice Center.
During searches of the two residences, officers reportedly seized suspected methamphetamine, prescription medication, drug paraphernalia and U.S. currency.
Reports from the investigation will be forwarded to the Crawford County Prosecutor’s Office for consideration of criminal charges.
Crestline police encouraged residents to report suspicious activity by calling the department at 419-683-2222.
Any allegations arising from the investigation would need to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. Hall is presumed innocent unless and until convicted.
