The Seneca County Drug Task Force – METRICH Enforcement Unit, assisted by officers and agents from the Seneca County Sheriff’s Office, executed a drug-related search warrant Monday at a Tiffin residence, resulting in 2 arrests and the seizure of suspected narcotics, firearms, U.S. currency, and other items.
The warrant, signed by Seneca County Common Pleas Court Judge Damon Alt, was served April 27, 2026, at 5771 E TR 106 in Tiffin — the residence of Brandy Johnson, 34.
Johnson was taken into custody on an active arrest warrant and transported to the Seneca County Jail. Possible charges of Trafficking in Drugs, Possession of Drugs, and Weapons under Disability are pending against her at the conclusion of the investigation, according to the task force.
A second individual present at the residence, Andrew Wilson, 39, was arrested by the Adult Parole Authority and also transported to the Seneca County Jail.
Sheriff Fred Stevens credited the operation to months of intelligence gathering and inter-agency coordination. “A steady flow of drug trafficking related intelligence has been received by the task force in recent months regarding this residence,” Stevens said. “Through the hard work of the task force agents, and their collaboration with local agencies in Seneca County, I am proud of how swiftly this issue was resolved!”
The Seneca County Drug Task Force – METRICH Enforcement Unit is encouraging residents to report suspicious activity to local agencies or its Crime Hotline at 419-443-0463, ext. 1140.
