The search warrant executed on 17 Benning Place by the Montgomery County RANGE Task Force, the FBI Safe Street Task Force with the assistance of an FBI SWAT team “is just one step in an ongoing effort to dismantle drug-related activities,” Montgomery County Sheriff Rob Streck said in a prepared statement.

“We are committed to ensuring those responsible for these crimes will face the consequences of their actions,” he said.

The three people arrested have been booked into the Montgomery County Jail. We checked the online jail records and located two of the three people arrested in Wednesday’s operation: Brian Woods, 38, and Michael Starks, 42.

The RANGE Task Force recognizes that in order to be truly successful, the support and assistance of the general public is essential. If you have information about any drug activity, you are asked to contact Miami Valley Crime Stoppers or call 937-222-STOP. All calls are kept confidential.
