Brian Kandel, 43, of Meadowbrook Drive, Leavittsburg, pleaded innocent to
felony drug possession in Warren Muncipal Court after his arrest by the
Trumbull Ashtabula Group Law Enforcement Task Force.
Kandel was released from the Trumbull County Jail after posting $25,000
bond. If convicted, he faces up to eight years in prison.
TAG served a search warrant on Kandel’s house last week after receiving
information about the home in connection with the abuse of prescription
drugs by juveniles, TAG said.
Investigators seized $4,000, numerous prescription pill bottles with
prescription drugs, digital scales, a ledger book, marijuana and several
firearms.
Many of the drugs seized were in pill bottles containing labels with the
names of people other than Kandel on them.
Police also confiscated tools they believe were traded for prescription
drugs.
While police were at the house, two people arrived at the house wanting to
purchase pills. They were not arrested. Additional charges are possible.
Residents are urged to call TAG to report suspicious activity at
330-675-7890.
