An arrest in the robbery of the Ohio River Bank in South Webster on Nov. 27 has resulted in six other arrests.

Scioto County Sheriff Marty V. Donini said Friday detectives arrested Larry Bradley, 26, at his home located on Great Meadow Road in Wheelersburg.

Bradley has been charged with aggravated robbery, a felony of the first degree; theft of a motor vehicle, a felony of the fourth degree, and receiving stolen property, a felony of the fifth degree. Bradley is being held with no bond and will appear in Common Pleas court on a later date.

Donini said detectives received more information that led them to a Jackson County residence were they arrested Scott L. Rosenburg, 34, of Jackson. Rosenburg has been charged with complicity to aggravated robbery, a felony of the first degree. Detectives were able to recover the gun used in the bank robbery at an undisclosed location in Wheelersburg. Rosenburg is being held on a $50,000 bond and will appear Monday in Portsmouth Municipal Court.

After the arrest of Rosenburg, officers still weren’t finished with their arrests.

During the investigation, detectives received information which led them to get a search warrant for a residence located at 87 Corey Drive in Wheelersburg.

“There were a lot of people there,” Scioto County Sheriff’s Captain David Hall told the Portsmouth Daily Times.

During the execution of the search warrant, drugs and other items were impounded and five subjects were arrested from that location.

Arrested was Mike Blair, 37, of Wheelersburg. Blair has been charged with possession of crack cocaine, a felony of the fourth degree; possession of heroin, a felony of the fourth degree, and possession of oxycodone, a felony of the fifth degree. Blair is being held on a $12,500 bond.

Wilbert Jordan, 42, of Wheelersburg, was charged with felonious assault, which occurred on Nov. 30 on Martin Road, which resulted in the victim being cut several times with a knife; a bench warrant for assault, a first degree misdemeanor, and a bench warrant for driving under suspension and failure to pay child support. Jordan is being held on a $53,500.

Tasha McFadden, 29, of Columbus, has been charged with possession of heroin, a felony of the fourth degree, and possession of oxycodone, a felony of the fifth degree. McFadden is being held on a $7,500 bond.

Mitchell Craft, 39, of Wheelersburg was charged with possession of crack, a felony of the fourth degree; possession of heroin, a felony of the fourth degree; possession of oxycodone, a felony of the fifth degree; receiving stolen property, a felony of the fifth degree, and a warrant out of Waverly.

Craft is being held on a $15,000 bond. All subjects will appear Monday in Portsmouth Municipal Court.

Donini said the arrests were a result of the joint effort between the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office Detectives and Deputies along with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, the Portsmouth Police Department and the Scioto County Common Pleas Court Adult Probation officers. Donini also asked anyone with any information concerning these crimes to contact Detective Jodi Conkel at the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office, (740) 351-1091. All calls will remain anonymous.

I know people are going to look at the ones arrested for drugs in a different light. Think how would you like it if it was someone in your family. You husband, son, brother or mother, daughter, sister. You would be ashamed of them but you would still love them. It would hurt you deeply if someone talked down about them. So lets all look at it that way. I know these people. They are good people. They have just took a wrong turn and went down the wrong path.

This article hits very close to home for me. I personally know two of the men in these pictures. I grew up with them, laughed with them, cried with them, and loved them dearly. Although I haven't seen them in many years, I remember them as wonderful people...full of kindness and promise.

That being said, I can't excuse the laws they have broken. I can however wonder exactly where things go wrong with good people. I mean my friends and the legislature alike. Are we too afraid to see that there are other angles we can explore when it comes to addiction? That these wheels are set in motion at a very early age? That if these men, or anyone else for that matter, grew up in a world in which the deck was stacked against them...how would any of us have turn out?

This isn't just rhetoric or my opinion. I know that these men did not get a fair shake, I know it because I've seen it. Throughout school they were constantly berated or judged solely because of their last names and "social status". They simply didn't count. There home lives were way less than perfect, and they had no positive influences. I would defy anyone to live like that for one day.

What if you'd never had the things that you've had? What if you didn't know the things that you've learned? What if you slipped through the cracks? It happens.
