Grand Jury

LISBON — A second Gardendale Street, East Liverpool resident has been charged as an alleged major drug offender after a drug bust at her residence on July 18.

Danielle Molish-Tanner, 36, was served Tuesday with a secret indictment issued by the recent Columbiana County Grand Jury for trafficking in cocaine, possession of cocaine, trafficking in fentanyl-related compound and possession of fentanyl-related compound, all first-degree felonies due to the amount of drugs involved.

All the charges include a major drug offender specification and specifications for forfeiture of money in a drug case, with two of the MDO specifications involving fentanyl. The forfeiture of money involves $160 Molish-Tanner possessed during the drug raid.

Khalide Moore, 25, who also lives on Gardendale Street, was present at the site of the drug raid and charged in an open indictment with first-degree felonies of possession of cocaine, trafficking in cocaine, possession of fentanyl-related compound, trafficking in fentanyl-related compound, a fourth-degree felony receiving stolen property and specifications for forfeiture of money in a drug case and major drug offender specifications.

The Columbiana County Drug Task Force executed a search warrant at the residence at 306 Gardendale Street on July 18 and found a large bag of suspected narcotic tablets and a large bag of suspected narcotics in a cabinet in the kitchen. Lab tests confirmed the 994 tablets contained fentanyl and the other substance was 583.04 grams of cocaine.

Also served Tuesday with a secret indictment was Javott Dawson, 20, Campbell, charged with failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer, a third-degree felony. The charge stems from Dawson fleeing from police on Aug. 21, 2022.
