Posted

Warren County sheriff’s deputies arrested two suspected drug dealers Jan. 8 while executing a search warrant at their home on the 28000 block of Sunnyside Road.

Hundreds of pills believed to contain the opioid fentanyl or a related substance were seized from the home, where deputies said two young children were also living. A small amount of methamphetamine was also located, according to an arrest report.

Meagan M. Harris, 32, and Jonathan D. Alger, 29, are each charged with delivery of a controlled substance, drug possession, and two counts of child endangerment.

According to the sheriff’s department, deputies entering the residence located Alger coming out of a bathroom. Deputies found a bag of fentanyl spinning in the recently flushed toilet.

In the master bedroom, deputies reportedly uncovered about 100 pills containing fentanyl, along numerous other pills containing a “cutting agent” used to dilute illicit opioids. About 200 more pills with a mix of both substances were found in a spare bedroom, deputies said.

Living in the home were two children, a 6 year old and a 9 year old. The sheriff’s department said both children had easy access to the narcotics in the house.

Harris and Alger were incarcerated at the Warren County Jail with bond set at $15,000.
