POMEROY — Forty pounds of marijuana, cash and over 300 guns, some loaded, were seized at a home in Columbia Township last week, according to Meigs County Sheriff Robert Beegle.

Beegle said his department was contacted by the Interdiction Unit of the Ohio Organized Crime Investigations Commission to assist in serving a search warrant at the home of Robert B. Six, 61, 26225 Rutherford Road, Albany.

Beegle said he was told Six was allegedly expecting delivery of 40 pounds of marijuana from California. Deputies from the Meigs County Sheriff’s Department, the Interdiction Unit, agents from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation, the Washington County Major Crimes Task Force and agents from the Ohio Division of Wildlife were all on scene.

After the search warrant was executed, Beegle said 40 pounds of marijuana, cash and over 300 weapons, some of them loaded, were confiscated. Six appeared in Meigs County Court to face charges of drug abuse, possession and improper tagging of wildlife, and was released on a $50,000 bond.

Beegle also reported:

• Three arrests last week in relation to a burglary at the Chester T&T Pitstop. Beegle said three juveniles were caught on tape at the store, later located and charged in Meigs County Juvenile Court with the crime. Beegle said items from earlier breaking and enterings at the convenient store were also recovered.

• Last week, Trinity Keener, 19, New Haven, W.Va., was arrested by Sgt. Bill Gilkey and charged with complicity for breaking and entering and grand theft in relation to items allegedly stolen from Rex Thorton’s Farm in Letart Falls and Martin Marietta in Apple Grove.

Beegle said Thorton reported brass fittings stolen from his farm irrigation system, while Martin Marietta reported welding cable and a control cable for a crane (worth around $1,000), gas cans, wiring and other items were stolen.

After acting on a tip of a suspicious vehicle, Gilkey questioned Keener and asked to look through the trunk of that vehicle and found wire inside. Beegle said two other suspects, who fled when Keener was approached, are sought in the breaking and enterings and grand thefts with which Keener has been charged. Keener was sent to the Washington County Jail.

• Chris Wolfe of Letart Falls also reported his $500 fertilizer injector was damaged and five brass gate valves had been stolen from his farm.
