Scioto County Sheriff Thoroughman Celebrates First Month in Office with 4th Drug Bust
Promises made. Promises kept. Scioto County Sheriff David Thoroughman told SCDN on the day he was sworn into office that he plans to be a public sheriff and not an office sheriff. Today marks his first full month in office. To celebrate, they decided to kick down some doors. Here’s the official report.
On Saturday, February 6, 2021, at approximately 7:39 a.m., officers executed the search warrant at the residence of 35-year-old Kyle K. Everman of 1918 Apartment E Kendall Ave. Portsmouth, Ohio. During a search of the residence, officers seized approximately (120) grams of suspected cocaine and digital scales. The estimated street value of the suspected cocaine seized is $12,000.
Everman was charged with Possession of Cocaine, a felony of the 1st degree.
Also arrested were 34-year-old Eric Wolfford, who claimed to be homeless, and John Harding of Vinton Ave. Portsmouth, Ohio. Wolford had a warrant issued for his arrest out of Gallia County, Ohio for violating probation, while Harding had a warrant issued for his arrest for failing to appear in court for a charge of a non-supportive parent.
All three arrestees were placed in the Scioto County Jail. Everman is scheduled to be arraigned in Portsmouth Municipal Court on Monday, February 8, 2021, at 9:00 a.m.
The case will eventually be forwarded to the Scioto County Prosecutor’s Office to be presented to a Scioto County Grand Jury.
Chief Brewer and Sheriff Thoroughman would like to thank the tactical medics from the Portsmouth Fire Department for their assistance with the operation and the Portsmouth Metropolitan Housing Authority Security Department for their assistance in the investigation.
Chief Brewer and Sheriff Thoroughman also request anyone wishing to leave drug information for the Southern Ohio Drug Task Force, to phone the Task Force tip line at (740) 354-5656 or email drugs@sciotocountysheriff.com. All information will be kept confidential and anonymous.
