Scioto County David Thoroughman has made a third drug bust within his first month in office.

On Friday, Thoroughman and drug task force officers executed a search warrant at the residence of 54-year-old Rodney W. Green and 36-year-old Lora M. Smith on Monroe Street in New Boston.

“During a search of the residence, officers seized approximately 32 grams of suspected methamphetamine, a small amount of marijuana, digital scales, approximately $560, drug paraphernalia, and additional evidence of drug trafficking,” the Sheriff said. He said the street value of the meth seized is $1,600.

Both Green and Smith were placed in the Scioto County Jail and are scheduled to be arraigned Monday.
