Routine traffic stop nets nearly $7k in cash, heroin
BROOKVILLE - A routine traffic stop along Interstate 70 turned into a major drug bust Tuesday, March 2, as Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies recovered nearly $7,000 in cash and eight ounces of heroin.
Gregory Kinnard, 45, and Danielle Warfield, 29, are in the county jail each on a felony drug possession charge after the drugs were removed from a rental car the pair was driving westbound along the interstate near mile marker 19 on I-70, Chief Deputy Scott Landis said.
Deputies and prosecutors have been meeting to get formal charges approved, but that has not happened as of Thursday morning.
The pair was stopped about 2 p.m. Tuesday for excessive speed and a curious deputy uncovered the money, Landis said. A drug-sniffing dog checked the car and immediately indicated there were drugs inside.
Kinnard nor Warfield are cooperating with drug detectives who want to know how they obtained the cash and heroin, investigators said. Neither have prior arrest records in the county, according to jail and court records.
TweetProsecutors charge one man in creek homicides
JEFFERSON TWP., Montgomery County - Prosecutors have charged one man with murder in the homicides of two Dayton men whose bodies were found along a rural section of Bear Creek last week.
Gregory Leet, 27, a Tier II registered sex offender is believed to be the trigger man by Montgomery County Sheriff’s investigators who interviewed two other men who were present when Nathan E. Gay, 49, and Harvey Sims Jr., 54 were shot to death, authorities said.
It appears Leet was trying to rob the men, authorities said.
Sheriff’s deputies arrested Leet Wednesday morning at his home in the 3377 S. Union Road, less than two miles from where Gay’s and Sims’ bodies were found.
The other two men were arrested on tampering with evidence charges early Wednesday morning by Riverside police, but are not being charged with any crimes at this time, prosecutor’s spokesman Greg Flannagan said.
Flannagan did not say why the other two men were not being charged and their families have been told they will be released from jail later today. Sheriff’s officials were not immediately available for comment.
Leet faces a total of 10 felony charges, including; two counts murder (purposeful, one for each victim); two counts murder (proximate result of felonious assault); two counts felonious assault with a deadly weapon); two counts felonious assault, causing serious physical harm; one count tampering with evidence; one count aggravated robbery.
