SIDNEY – Three people have been indicted on charges stemming from a March 6 narcotics search at a Sidney home. Two remained jailed with large cash bonds.

On Thursday, March 14, the Shelby County grand jury handed down warrants on 18 defendants who now face alleged drug-related, sexual misconduct, domestic violence and other charges. They will be arraigned in Shelby County Common Pleas Court on Thursday, March 21.

Indicted were Ronnie J. Scholl, 39, and Brandy Nichole Teasley, 36, both of 916 N. Miami Ave., and Tyler Oakley, 31, at large.

Scholl was indicted for aggravated trafficking in drugs, a first-degree felony; for having a weapon while under disability, a third-degree felony; counterfeiting and trafficking in drugs, both fourth-degree felonies. He remains housed at the Shelby County Jail on a $60,000 bond.

Authorities allege Scholl was trafficking Methamphetamine and heroin in the vicinity of a school; possessed a 9mm handgun with two previous drug convictions; and, was printing bank notes.

Oakley was charged with aggravated possession of drugs and possession of criminal tools, both fifth-degree felonies. He is jailed on a $7,500 bond. He is believed to be trafficking Methamphetamine when arrested.

Teasley has been charged with permitting drug abuse, a fifth-degree felony. She is accused of allowing Scholl to traffic drugs at her residence.

Collectively, they may be required to forfeit $528 in cash seized at the time of their arrest. The cash is believed to have been obtained through illegal drug activity.

At 11:45 a.m., that day, members of the Sidney-Piqua Tactical Response Team secured the residence where they allegedly found equipment associated with the manufacturing of counterfeit money, in addition to evidence of drug trafficking. Also, recovered during the search were Methamphetamine, heroin, steroids, drug paraphernalia and a loaded 9 mm handgun.
