Clermont County man charged with trafficking narcotics

On Sept. 25, David Goodine, 19, was indicted by a Clermont County grand jury following an investigation by the Clermont County Sheriff’s Narcotics Task Force for the alleged distribution of illegal narcotics.

Goodine was indicted on the following charges:

• One count of trafficking in marijuana, a felony of the third degree;

• One count of possession of marijuana, a felony of the third degree;

• Three counts of trafficking of THC wax, a felony of the fourth degree;

• Three counts of possession of THC wax, a felony of the fifth degree;

• Three counts of trafficking psilocybin, a felony of the second degree;

• Three counts of possession of psilocybin, a felony of the second degree;

• Three counts of trafficking of LSD, a felony of the third degree; and

• Three counts of possession of LSD, a felony of the fourth degree.

The Clermont County Narcotics Task Force initiated an investigation after receiving information that Goodine was allegedly trafficking psilocybin mushrooms, LSD and marijuana products from his residence in Williamsburg Township.

On Jan. 27, the Task Force executed a search warrant at Goodine’s residence. Evidence allegedly collected from the scene was submitted to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation for testing. 

During the execution of the search warrant, detectives allegedly seized $6,009 in U.S. currency; 31.86 pounds of marijuana; 1,419 one-gram THC carts; 292 two-gram THC carts; 1.91 pounds of psilocybin (mushrooms); 27 packs of THC edibles; 5.9 pounds of THC wax; 14.5-gram gross (50 units) of LSD; two 9-mm pistols; and four smartphones.

The total street value of the allegedly seized narcotics is estimated at $132,140.

An indictment is merely a charge and is not evidence of guilt.
