The task force entered the home at approximately 9:35 a.m. Thursday following an investigation into an alleged “drug house” at that address. Matthew L. Brown 51, was found inside and was arrested for possession of heroin after a large quantity of suspected heroin was found.

Also found inside the residence were:
— A large quantity of suspected cocaine
— A moderate quantity of suspected marijuana
— A small quantity of suspected pharmaceutical pills
— A large quantity of suspected drug paraphernalia
— A large quantity of US currency

It is expected that additional charges will be presented to an upcoming session of the Van Wert County Grand Jury.
