PORTSMOUTH, Ohio (WSAZ) -- A McDermott, Ohio, couple is under arrest on drug trafficking charges.

The Scioto County Sheriff’s Office says 42-year-old Pearlon Maynard and 29-year-old Michelle Maynard were arrested at their home on Rose Street Wednesday afternoon.

Deputies say inside the house they found Oxycontin, Oxycondeon, Methadone, Vicodin, Lorcet, Xodol, Suboxone, Endocet and drug paraphernalia.

The Maynards are being held in the Scioto County Jail on $12,500 bond each. They are expected to be back in court today (Thursday).

The Sheriff’s Office says a third person was arrested at the house. 31-year-old Summer Cantrell of Portsmouth was arrested on an unrelated gun and burglary charge.

Why is it that they are only being held on 12,000 bonds when they had so many drugs and Donakd Ulmer had 500,000 bond? Maybe because he's black. He get's 15 years and they get what a pat on the back. That's messed up. God don't like ugly. Follow the law, but be fair by all means!

Hey "frustrated in ky", I have to disagree with you about there being too much news about druggies getting busted. I LOVE to hear about how our law enforcement is cleaning up our community! One drug bust means AT LEAST one less druggy near my family.I want every pillhead, crackhead,heroin addict,and especially every "SPONSOR" (the ones sending other addicts to pillmills and paying them with pills and pushing the rest)to see their friends,"employees" and "coworkers" exposed and heading for the big house! I want to see busts every day! We have enough druggies for it! I am tickled that it seems to be getting to the point where people are seriously trying to do something about it. I hope this is just the beginning. We should take the initiative and form neighborhood watch groups to patrol together and watch for suspicious/drug trouble so we can alert the police and let the druggies know we aren't going to take it anymore!! Thank you Johnny Law!!!Keep it up!
