By Cassandra Shofar A Chester Township mother has been arrested and charged with felonious drug possession, including heroin and cocaine, from her Caves Road home. Constance Thomas, 54, of 12835 Caves Road, was ar- rested late Fri- day night after Chester Town- ship police and the Geauga County Prose- cutor’s Office executed a search warrant on Thomas’ residence. In addition to Thomas, her 27- year-old son, Spencer Thomas, and 18-year-old James Velotta were arrested. Velotta was arrested in the church parking lot across the street from Constance’s home and charged with drug para- phernalia and driving under a suspended license. Spencer was charged with possession of drug parapherna- lia. Additional charges against all three will be presented to a coun- ty grand jury for indictment, Chester Township Police Chief Mark Purchase said Monday. Constance’s 17-year-old son was also present at the residence and was turned over to the cus- tody of his aunt, he said. The Geauga County Sheriff's Office and Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation assisted in the arrest. “Delinquency charges are expected to be filed against the juvenile,” said county Prosecutor Jim Flaiz. Earlier Monday morning, the prosecutor’s office filed a complaint in common pleas court seeking to declare the drug house a nuisance. Geauga County Common Pleas Court Judge Forrest W. Burt granted an emergency order to secure the home. At 2 p.m., the Chester Town- ship Road Department boarded up the house and police held a press conference. “Really, the most disturbing part of the whole thing was (Constance’s) 17-year-old son was present during one of the drug purchases that we con- firmed and was present at the home during the raid, and we also believe was using illegal drugs. That’s really the sad part here,” Flaiz said. Last Thursday, Constance was also arrested and charged with fifth-degree felony posses- sion of drugs following an inci- dent at 8031 Sherman Road. Police were called to the res- idence at 12:32 a.m. and Cons- tance met them at the door, advising them the homeowner, Kevin Ellison, was unresponsive and not breathing, Criminal Investigator Karen Sweet wrote in her court affidavit, which was attached to Flaiz’s motion requesting the home be de- clared a nuisance. Chester Township EMTs “recognized this as a drug over- dose and administered Narcam,” she wrote. Flaiz, Chester Township Police Sgt. Bob Pomnean and several other Chester Township officers executed a search warrant on Ellison’s residence, reportedly finding crack cocaine, 38 oxy- codone pills, three crack pipes with residue and heroin, Sweet said. Officers then removed a container Constance had hid- den inside her person, which contained what was tested as heroin, Sweet said. Flaiz added Monday, “She had delivered the drugs to that residence. After Chester police executed a search warrant in the early morning hours, (Con- stance) was found to have a large amount of heroin on her and a large amount of crack cocaine.” Your Community Newspaper Since 1967 8389 Mayfield Rd.

On Friday, an undercoverofficer completed a drug pur-chase at the Caves Road homewhile the 17-year-old was pres-ent. A search warrant wassecured and “numerous” drugsand drug abuse instrumentswere found including crackpipes, needles, pills, straws, ascale, marijuana, bongs andspoons, Sweet said.Constance was arraigned in

Chardon Municipal Court lastThursday and was released on a$10,000 unsecured bond prior toFriday’s arrest.She currently is jailed in the

Geauga County Safety Center.She was scheduled to appear inJudge David Fuhry’s courtroomthis morning to enter a changeof plea in connection with afelony drug abuse charge filedlast November.A video arraignment in

Chardon Municipal Court wasscheduled for 1:30 p.m. Mondayon the most recent charges.Constance, however, was too illto be moved, according to lawenforcement officials.Her arraignment was contin-

ued until Tuesday morning at9:45 a.m.Constance’s arrest followed a

lengthy investigation thatChester Township police and thecounty prosecutor's office jointlyconducted, which Sweetdescribed in her affidavit.In February 2011, the prose-

cutor’s office became awareConstance and her sons, Spencerand the 17-year-old, wereallegedly involved in heavy traf-ficking and use of cocaine andheroin at their Caves Road resi-dence.The home belongs to Donald

and Susan Thorpe, who are cur-rently renting out the house toConstance, Sweet said, addingPomnean told her a “great deal”of illegal drug activity was hap-pening at the Caves Road home.“There is a long documented

history of convicted criminals,especially individuals with drugconvictions, having contact withConstance ... at 12835 CavesRoad,” Sweet wrote in her affi-davit.“The house has been under

surveillance for some time andthere was an enormous amountof traffic in and out of the house,and we believe numerous drugsales in and out of the house,including one confirmed drugsale last Friday,” Flaiz said dur-ing Monday’s press conference.“We believe heroin, crackcocaine, marijuana and pillswere being dealt out of thehome and our community is justnot going to stand for it, know-ing that’s something that policeare concerned about, townshiptrustees are concerned about,our residents are concernedabout. Putting a stop to that kindof drug trade out here is exactlywhat I was elected to do.”He added, “There were two

different types of clientele thatwe observered in and out of thehouse. There was an older crowdwhich we believed were thecrack cocaine and heroin buysthat were occurring, and therewas, unfortunately, a lot of lateteenage traffic including somehigh schoolers we believe andthat was most likely marijuana

trafficking inside the house.”Purchase said the teenagers

are “familiar with this area.”Flaiz said including Friday’s

arrest, Constance currently hasthree felony drug cases pendingin Geauga County. Both Constance and Spencer

have criminal histories. Con-stance was convicted of posses-sion of drug paraphernalia andthree counts of felony drug pos-session in 2007 and is currentlycharged with felony drug posses-sion, according to court docu-ments. Spencer has been convicted

of disorderly conduct, possessionof drug paraphernalia in 2003and drug abuse in 2012.On Nov. 9, 2012, police

responded to Constance’s homefor a heroin overdose involvingDana Seifert, of MayfieldHeights. Seifert’s two young chil-dren were present and manydrug items — cocaine, marijuanaand heroin — were found at thehouse, Sweet said.On Feb. 13 of this year,

Spencer overdosed on prescrip-tion pills at the house.An Ohio Automated Roux

Reporting System reportrevealed that every month,Constance fills prescriptionsincluding Oxycodone, Morphine,Carisoprodol (a muscle relaxant)and Aprazolam (Xanax), Sweetwrote. Every month, Spencer fills

prescriptions for Oxycodone,Endocet (another form ofOxycodone), Morphine, Cariso-prodol and Aprazolam. And the juvenile son fills

prescriptions for Adderall andMixed Amphetamine Salt.Sweet and Pomnean contin-

ued daily surveillance of thehouse on March 13 and bothreportedly saw short-term vehi-cle and person traffic, hand-to-hand transactions and suspectedactivity related to drug transac-tions occurring at the home dur-ing the day and night.On March 20, Sweet and

Pomnean removed five bags ofabandoned garbage from thefront tree lawn, uncoveringapproximately 15 used syringeswith blood and suspected heroinresidue, one broken glass pipewith suspected cocaine residueand chore boy pads. They also found several

pieces of baggies and cottonswabs with suspected heroin andcocaine residue, and two empty

prescription bottles for Con-stance, Sweet said.They removed more garbage

over the next couple weeks andfound more syringes, pipes, plas-tic baggies, a plastic straw withwhite powder (suspected cocaineresidue) and more prescriptionbottles for Constance, shereported.“We need to work with the

police more and do things to tryto stop this drug activity,” Flaizsaid Monday. “It’s unfortunatelya growing problem. Heroin isvery scary. I’ve very rarely seenpeople be able to beat the addic-tion and we’re really trying tofocus our efforts on the heroinuse and the heroin traffickingalong with other illegal drugs.” Purchase echoed Flaiz, saying

heroin is becoming “an impor-tant issue in Geauga County”and this case is far from over.“The investigation is still

ongoing,” he said. “There’s morework to go and there will likelybe additional charges in thiscase.”
