Police: Major Dent Taken Out Of Area Drug Dealing

Members of the Greene County Agencies for Combined Enforcement said they have made a major dent in drug dealing in the Miami Valley.

An eight-month undercover investigation called “Operation Ridin’ Dirty” led to the arrest of 16 suspects. However, there are three more that police are trying to locate.

Armed with arrest warrants, members of the Greene County ACE Task Force, DEA, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and Dayton police tracked down suspected drug dealers.

The search for suspects also took investigators to Yellow Springs, where they made more arrests.

One investigator said there were 19 arrest warrants from undercover operatives who have been making buys during the last eight months. Authorities said there have been 16 arrests.

Investigators describe the drug dealing as midlevel to major-level dealers who deal mostly in crack cocaine.

Authorities said they continue to look for Benjamin Finley, David Hufford and Keisha Walthall.

If you have any information on the whereabouts of the final three suspects, contact your local police.
