The Clermont County Grand Jury met Wednesday, April 29 and decided the cases against 16 individuals resulting in 24 charges. Sixteen individuals have been indicted by the Grand Jury for drug trafficking in and around the Village of Felicity.

“The Clermont County Narcotics Unit began focusing investigative efforts in the Felicity area of southern Clermont County after reports of crime and street dealing were received from citizens,” said Sheriff A. J. Rodenberg. “A covert investigative operation was implemented just after the new year began and follows a similar operation in 2008 that netted half a dozen arrests in the Felicity area.  Clermont County Narcotics Unit agents and deputies were dispatched this morning in an attempt to find and arrest the indicted individuals. Eight were taken into custody and eight are still being sought.”
