May 8—Drug charges have been filed against an Ashtabula man after an investigation that led to a property in the 1200 block of West 8th Street, according to a press release from Ashtabula County Sheriff William Niemi.
Nicholas Greathouse was charged with trafficking in cocaine after 70 grams of crack cocaine and more than $2,700 in cash was seized during the execution of a search warrant at the West 8th Street property.
"The Crime Enforcement Agency of Ashtabula County, with assistance from the Ashtabula County Sheriff's Office, executed the search warrant after a six-month investigation into drug trafficking at the residence," Niemi said.
He said additional charges are expected to be filed against a second suspect once lab results are returned.
