Scioto County Sheriff Marty V. Donini says 55-year-old Debra L. Spradlin has been arrested and charged with trafficking in drugs, a fourth-degree felony, and possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony.

Donini said the Sheriff’s Narcotics Unit executed a search warrant about 12:45 p.m. Thursday at Spradlin’s residence, 78 Mercer Cox Road, Lucasville, where detectives say they seized about 60 suspected Oxycodone 30-milligram pills, an undetermined amount of marijuana and more than $1,300 cash, digital scales, assorted drug paraphernalia and three firearms.

Donini said the case against Spradlin will be forwarded to the Scioto County Prosecutor’s Office to be presented to a Scioto County grand jury for the consideration of additional charges.
