Drug bust turns big when more buyers arrive
DAYTON — A drug bust netted five arrests on Wednesday, June 17, when two groups of buyers arrived at an apartment complex seeking heroin while officers had the alleged seller already in custody.
The Dayton police Special Investigations Street Crimes Bureau initiated a bust at the Mount Crest Court Apartment Complex, 500 Mount Crest Court, after receiving complaints about drugs sales in one of the apartments, according to a police report.
The five arrested were: Robert DeVaughn Jr., 29, the alleged seller; Charles L. Sanders, 24, who was inside the apartment and had outstanding warrants; Richard J. Tudor, 26, and Elizabeth M. Rechenberg, 30, who arrived together allegedly seeking drugs; and Erica C. Buchanan, 22, who later arrived seeking drugs, the report said.
DeVaughn was booked on charges of trafficking in drugs and possession of drugs, Sanders was booked for his outstanding warrants, Tudor was booked on a charge of substance solicitation, Rechenberg was booked on charges of permitting drug abuse and substance solicitation and Buchanan was booked on charges of possession of drugs, substance solicitation and possession of criminal tools, the report said.
An undercover detective first arrived at the complex at 7:55 p.m. and made contact with DeVaughn, who was sitting outside. After asking if the detective was a cop, DeVaughn went inside a nearby apartment and returned with a capsule containing suspected cocaine, the report said. The detective gave DeVaughn $20 for the capsule, and DeVaughn was then arrested, the report said.
During the arrest, DeVaughn said the officers, “I should have just walked away.”
Detectives then entered the apartment from which DeVaughn had emerged and found Sanders sitting on a pillow. Underneath the pillow, officers recovered a .357 Magnum revolver, the report said.
Police also found a .44 Magnum revolver and a shotgun while searching the apartment, the report said. Both handguns were found to the stolen, the report said.
During the bust, Rechenberg and Tudor arrived asking for drugs, the report said. Rechenberg told officers the pair had driven from Hamilton to buy heroin, and that it was the first time they had sought drugs since entering drug treatment together, the report said.
Shortly after, Buchanan arrived, also seeking heroin. She told officers to not arrest the woman who drove her to the complex because she was the one trying to buy heroin, and she showed officers multiple needle marks on both of her arms, the report said.
All five arrested were booked into Montgomery County Jail.

Let’s just see what the DDN did not want you to know. 2004 CR 02065- STATE OF OHIO vs CHARLES L. SANDERS 08/17/2004 INDICTMENT FOR CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPON (LOADED/AMMUNITION READY AT HAND ) 11/10/04. DEFT SENTENCED TO 5 YRS COMMUNITY CONTROL. Judge GORMAN 05/02/2005 NOTICE OF REVOCATION HEARING AND ORDER FILED, BOND SET AT $10,000. judgeGORMAN (for not complying with ANY of the terms of probation Gorman did not care) 06/03/2005 REINSTATEMENT TO PROBATION, judge gorman 2004 CR 03472- STATE OF OHIO vs CHARLES L. SANDERS 10/13/2004 BILL OF INFORMATION FILED FOR ATTEMPT TO COMMIT POSSESSION OF COCAINE (10g BUT NOT 25g) (CRACK) ORC 2925.11 / ORC 2923.02 F3 04/14/2005 DEFT SENTENCED TO 5 YRS COMMUNITY CONTROL. GORMAN 04/20/2005 OFFENDER ARREST NOTICE FILED, BOND SET AT $10,000. GORMAN 06/03/2005 REINSTATEMENT TO PROBATION judge GORMAN 04/05/2007 TERMINATION OF COMMUNITY CONTROL (COMPLETE) FILED. Judge GORMANShe gave him 5 years and let him off in 2 years. Check the dates from above both of these cases were happening at pretty much the same time. Sanders had a concealed weapons charge and a attempt to buy crack charge. As far as I know this is the second time that Gorman violated the law by not giving a mandatory sentence for a violation of ORC 2925.11 Attempt to buy crack. She simply does not know the law.. The first time that I am aware of is the Antonio Alford case where he went out and killed the wrong guy for revenge of his brother’s murder. The Ohio Supreme Court as ruled: SYLLABUS OF THE COURT An attempted possession of illegal drugs is a drug-abuse offense, and an individual convicted of an attempted drug-abuse offense is subject to the mandatory sentencing provisions of R.C. 2925.11. Antonio Alford and Charles Sanders should by law still be in prison. Judge Gorman refuses to follow the law. She releases these gun toting drug dealers to the streets to continue the cycle of violence. We are just lucky that sanders has not gotten around to killing any body yet. It is just a matter of time until he does.
