ROSS COUNTY, Ohio — A routine inspection led to an unexpected discovery at a local Ross County business on Thursday. Authorities reported that a small bag of a white crystalline substance was found within a shipment at Orbis Corporation, prompting an investigation by local law enforcement.
A deputy from the Ross County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene at approximately 9:23 AM after receiving a call about the suspicious package. “Upon arrival, I made contact with the facility’s manager, who stated the bag was found in a container that arrived from Riffle Machine Works,” the deputy noted in the official report. Riffle Machine Works is a local metal fabrication facility.
“I seized the small bag of white crystal-like substance and placed it in evidence to be destroyed,” the deputy added, confirming that a photo of the item was taken to aid in the ongoing investigation.
The case continues to develop as law enforcement works to determine the origin of the substance.
