• Two Bath township police officers assisted the Drug Enforcement Agency and the Summit County Drug Task Force in the arrest at 1:23 p.m. Friday of a man who police claim was importing ecstasy into the country. 

According to Bath Township Police Chief Michael McNeely, the man arrived at the Holiday Inn expecting to receive payment for a shipment of drugs, but instead was arrested in the parking lot.  “They had been in contact for several months and I believe had provided drugs to the undercover officers before.” McNeely said the man was not a U.S. citizen.
