During the search, officers found 343 grams of suspected crystal meth and 10 grams of suspected cocaine with a street value of $7800. They also seized nine firearms and $15,877 in cash.

A warrant for Holmes’ arrest had been issued by the Scioto County Common Pleas Court after he was indicted by the Grand Jury. The Ohio State Highway Patrol and the county prosecutors office presented evidence of Holmes’ criminal offenses including trafficking in cocaine and tampering with evidence.

The case is still under investigation. Scioto County Sheriff Martin Donini and Interim Portsmouth Police Chief Debby Brewer request anyone wishing to leave drug information for the Southern Ohio Drug Task Force should phone the Task Force tip line at (740) 354-5656 or email drugs@sciotocountysheriff.com.
