Nearly 40 wanted people with warrants were rounded up in the last two days.
The sting occurred in Scioto County where Sheriff David Thoroughman and Portsmouth Police Chief Debbie Brewer worked with 89 other law enforcement officers to arrest dozens of wanted fugitives.
The wanted people had warrants ranging from probation violations to drug and weapon charges.
“If we are to have safer and stronger communities, we have to have strong partnerships with our local, state and federal law enforcement agencies,” the Sheriff said. “This holds true for the other governmental agencies, private business organizations, and our community that we serve. We have to strengthen and grow those relationships to better serve our community.”
The Sheriff said that 21 of the 37 arrested people were referred for treatment and released from custody.
