OHIO — A 35-year-old Cincinnati man has been arrested following an undercover drug investigation in Butler County, authorities announced.
Alex Montgomery was taken into custody by the Butler County Undercover Regional Narcotics Task Force (B.U.R.N.) and the Hamilton Police Department. Investigators said they recovered more than an ounce of fentanyl and about $1,400 during the operation.
Following Montgomery’s arrest, the Hamilton County Regional Enforcement Narcotics Unit (RENU) executed a search warrant at his home in the 1200 block of Thurnridge Avenue in Cincinnati.
Officers said they found a Glock handgun and an additional ounce of fentanyl.
Montgomery has been charged with possession of drugs and tampering with evidence. Officials said the Butler County Common Pleas Court has also issued a capias warrant related to a prior drug case.
“The Butler County Sheriff’s Office is committed to working with our law enforcement partners at every level to take dangerous drugs and firearms off the streets,” Sheriff Richard Jones said in a statement. “Protecting our communities has no county boundaries, and these joint operations send a clear message to those who traffic in poison.”
