Deputies raided Channels’ East High Street Apartment in September and arrested two other people as well.
Inside his apartment, deputies found 63 grams of cocaine, a stolen rifle, $800 and a digital scale.
“For perspective, a Snickers candy bar only weighs about 50 grams,” said Clark County Prosecutor Daniel Driscoll.
Channels arrest was part of a two-month investigation into drug trafficking.
The sheriff’s office also found a 2-year-old in the home, Clark County Sheriff Deb Burchett told our news partners at the Springfield News-Sun.
“There were some weapons just sitting around the area,” the sheriff said. “It’s very dangerous with that child running around. A 2-year-old can pick them up at any time and that’s why children services were called to the scene.”
Burchett said drug crimes are still a top priority for her office.
“When I took over drugs was one of the main things I wanted to work on,” she said. “I am constantly in touch with our drug unit, seeing what they’re doing and buying and they have been doing a very good job.”
