CLEVELAND, Ohio — Eight men are charged in connection with a drug ring after a raid at two homes in Cleveland’s Glenville neighborhood, police said.

City police and the federal bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives raided the two homes on Hopkins Avenue on Tuesday.

Investigators seized 10 guns, including an AR-15 and AK-47 and eight handguns and 800 bullets, police said. They also seized 236 grams of cocaine, three pounds of marijuana, a small amount of packaged heroin, $8,790 in suspected drug money and two cars, according to police.

The investigators also found scales to weigh the drugs and other equipment used to package the drugs inside the homes, police said.

The arrests came after tips from the public passed on to the Fifth District Vice Unit, which led the investigation.

Decarlo Sanders, 37, of Euclid, Corey Carroll, 34, of Marcus Mitchell, 32, of Euclid, Theodore Harris, 38, of Cleveland, Edward Rodgers Jr., Rodriguse Wright, 37, of Cleveland, Dywone Murphy, 46, of Cleveland, and Lance Overton, 34, of East Cleveland are all charged.

Each faces counts of first-degree felony drug trafficking and are set for their first court appearance on Friday.

It’s the second drug bust in as many weeks on the city’s East Side.

The Fourth District Vice Unit on on Jan. 24 raided the basement of an East 114th Street apartment building just north of Superior Avenue. The bust netted 279 grams of crack cocaine, 100 grams of a heroin-fentanyl mix that were individually wrapped for selling, a shotgun and three pistols, investigators said.

Elvis Payne, 45, was charged with first-degree felony drug trafficking in that case.

The Southeast Area Law Enforcement task force raided another home of Payne’s on Forbes Avenue west of Warren Road the next day and seized a “large amount” of heroin and cocaine, according to court records.

Payne has prior convictions for drug trafficking and sexual battery.
