Lower costs have turned Dayton into a distribution hub for heroin: "When the RANGE task force kicked down the door at 35 Oxford Ave. earlier this month, they found a house-full of sophisticated, high-powered firearms, drugs and $40,000 in cash.
And they upset a mid-level cocaine and heroin distribution ring operated in Dayton that reached into Springfield.
“These men were highly involved in the (drug) trade. ... This is a business, and these guns are the tools of the trade,” said James Dier, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives special agent. “They arm themselves and take over neighborhoods. It’s all about firepower.”
Carlton Morice Adams, 30, and Tyrrelle Robinson, 22, remain in the Montgomery County Regional Jail on federal detainers. Both have drug and weapons convictions.
“Heroin sellers have a tendency to be violent,” said Dayton police Lt. Mike Wilhelm, commander of the Fifth District, which includes the Oxford Avenue house."
