Local task force conducts raids in drug trafficking case

Search warrants served at homes in Richwood and Marysville, Four suspects arrested

By From JT Staff Reports 

On Thursday morning, the Multi-Agency Drug Enforcement (MADE) Task Force served two search warrants in Richwood and Marysville and arrested four suspects following a months-long drug trafficking investigation.

According to a release from the task force, at 5:45 a.m., MADE conducted search warrants at 27 E. Bomford St., Richwood and 690 Milford Ave. in Marysville, where officials seized approximately 330 grams of methamphetamine and 60 grams of cocaine. Four suspects were arrested and indicted by the Union County Grand Jury including:

– Brandee Greer, 53, of Marysville, who was charged with 13 felony counts including illegal manufacturing of drugs, trafficking cocaine, aggravated trafficking in drugs and engaging in a pattern of illegal activity.

– William “Billy” Vincent, 45, of Richwood, charged with 12 felony counts including illegal manufacturing of drugs, aggravated trafficking in drugs, trafficking cocaine, permitting drug abuse and engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity.

– Brittany Duffy, 40, of Richwood, charged with four felony counts including aggravated trafficking in drugs, trafficking cocaine and engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity.

– Elizabeth Ames, 46, of Richwood, charged with five felony counts including trafficking cocaine, engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity and aggravated trafficking in drugs.

During the investigation of the two homes, detectives also located five guns that were seized alongside the drugs found. The investigation into the drug trafficking group originated with the Richwood Police Department and has been in progress by MADE Task Force since August of 2025.

The MADE Task Force is comprised of the Union County Prosecutor’s Office, Union County Sheriff’s Office, Plain City Police Department and the Marysville Police Department.

“This case is a powerful example of how law enforcement agencies across Union County successfully collaborate to keep our communities safe,” officials said.
