On July 23rd, 2025, Detectives, Patrol Deputies, Special Response Team with the Guernsey County Sheriff’s Office, Coshocton County Sheriff’s Office, and Cambridge Police Department executed a high-risk search warrant at a residence in Kimbolton. The search warrant yielded a large quantity of methamphetamines, fentanyl, and a firearm.
The search warrant was in reference to an ongoing narcotics investigation into an individual that originated from the Coshocton, Ohio area and was a known member of the “KF” (Konvicted Family) prison gang that is known for violence, trafficking illegal narcotics, and illegal weapons violations. Investigators quickly learned that the individual had just recently moved into Guernsey County and established residency in Kimbolton. Sheriff Paden stated that after a swift and thorough investigation and collaboration with multiple law enforcement agencies, this individual now resides at the Guernsey County Jail.
Investigators have charged Corey J. Harris, of Coshocton, OH, with the following;
-Trafficking in Fentanyl Related Compound (Felony of the 2nd Degree)
-Possession of a Fentanyl Related Compound (Felony of the 2nd Degree)
-Aggravated Trafficking in Drugs (Felony of the 2nd Degree)
-Aggravated Possession of Drugs (Felony of the 2nd Degree)
Harris remains in the Guernsey County Jail and is pending arraignment in the Cambridge Municipal Court.
