Guns, Heroin, Oxy and a Surprised Suspect

West Portsmouth resident Marcus Miller looks pretty darn surprised in his mugshot. But, considering what the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office said they found at his home, he really shouldn’t be too shocked that the Southern Ohio Drug Taskforce showed up at his door at 8 am on Thursday morning. Given the hour, it’s possible they woke him up.  Here’s what law enforcement said went down.

The Bust

Around 8 am on June 18, the Southern Ohio Drug Task Force and Portsmouth Police Department SWAT team showed up at a home on Slab Run Road in West Portsmouth. They executed a narcotics-related search warrant at the home of Marcus Miller, 45, and Deborah Trowbridge, 52.  Here’s  Ms. Trowbridge’s mugshot.
