Miami County Sheriff’s detectives and the U.S. Marshals Service raided a Piqua home Friday in an attempt to arrest a suspected drug dealer.

The suspect, identified as 34-year-old Cecil L.

Detectives seized cocaine, marijuana, drug paraphernalia and cash, and will pursue additional charges against Archie after consultation with the Miami County Prosecutor’s Office, the release stated.

Now, the sheriff is asking for the public’s help to find Archie. Anyone who knows Archie’s whereabouts is urged to notify local law enforcement or leave an anonymous tip at the Miami County Sheriff’s Office website at https://www.miamicountyohio.gov./sheriff.
