Wellsville Mayor Susan Haugh, in a recently released
statement, said “I am pleased to announce that on July 3 Operation River Sweep
was implemented in the Village of Wellsville.
Operation River Sweep was designed with drug eradication in
mind. The elite Ohio State Highway
Patrol Special Response Team, the Columbiana County Sheriff’s Office, the CC
Drug Task Force, the U.S. Marshals and the Wellsville Police Department joined
forces to send a message to the drug suppliers, dealers and users that we will
not take a passive approach to the illegal activity in this area. We will continue to aggressively and
precisely target such illegal activity.
I would like to personally thank OSP Lt. Dragavich, OSP Lt.
Smith, CC Sheriff Ray Stone, CC Det. Dan Downard, WPD Chief Joe Scarabino and
all other officers involved in Operation River Sweep. Your dedication to help Wellsville is to be
commended.
I would also like to thank each and every resident of this
village who has offered information. It
has not fallen on deaf ears. We will
continue to follow up on every lead given in order to remove these nuisances
from your neighborhood.”
Other details are in an article in both our local papers
today. We won’t duplicate their efforts. We would like to offer our thanks to the
Mayor, Village officials and all the law enforcement officers involved for
their continued efforts to clean up our village. It’s reassuring that some politicians keep
their promises.
The message last evening was loud and clear. Again, thank you all…

Still waiting to see the people arrested and jailed and their charges. If this didnot happen what is the purpose of the raids?
From our info there were two people picked up on outstanding warrants. Wee did see an August trial date set for one in CC Common Pleas. If the other was in the paper we missed it.
