Two people were arrested this morning after Cuyahoga Falls police and federal authorities raided a 25th Street home where they said heroin was being sold.
The Falls police narcotics unit teamed with the U.S. Marshals Violent Fugitive Task Force in executing a search warrant at a home in the 2000 block of 25th Street.
Two people inside the home were charged with possession of heroin. Neither is accused of trafficking, although police said the investigation is continuing and additional charges are possible.
Nathan J. Dial, 25, was charged with possession of heroin and drug abuse instruments. Amber L. Harvey, 23, faces the same charges.
During the search, police say they seized marijuana, drug paraphernalia, hypodermic syringes, multiple plastic sandwich bags, smoking devices, items with white powder residue, miscellaneous papers, a digital camera and cell phones.

Amber L Harvey's... life
Theft, Receiving Stolen Property, Criminal Trespass, Drug Abuse,
And she seemed like such a good girl.
Now Nathan J Dial has way too many cases to post, the cops will be glad he's off the street. Thanks for taking out the trash Violent Fugitive Task Force!!

Akron, OH

@RealDeal Of course they seized the plastic sandwich bags, what do you think they were putting the heroin in? More than likely junkies don't bring their own environmentally friendly heroin storage containers so I'm guessing the plastic sandwich bags would have to do.

If little Johnny and Tyrone want to purchase illegal narcotics that will last a week and only have $200,
where will they get their drugs and what will their sentences be if they get caught?
Akron = crack and meth / 10 - 15 years
Cuyahoga Falls = heroin / 2 years because the dealer had a real good attorney
Hudson = ecstasy / probation because the dealers father is a real good attorney.
Class dismissed.

Gerard...love your post on this one. Hey...where are all the folks that want to kill the thugs? I only see requests to kill the thugs when it's in Akron and the suspects are assumed to be Black. Don't discriminate...be fair. If a drug dealer is a thug then it doesn't matter what color they are and/or where they live.

@Use Common Sense...ur at it again but only this time u did not post the record of Nathan, but u did not hesitate with Don Baker!
By the way SC website list no entries for any one named Amber L. Harvey..WHERE ARE U GETTING UR LYING INFO ADN THIS TIME IT IS WHITE!
U are posting arrest records and that has nothing to do with convictions cause people are arrested and let go all the time but the ARREST is still a matter of record and what u post are misdomeanors...where r the felonies?
Dade City, Fl

Cuyahoga Falls has always had lots of drugs. Heroin, cocaine, marijuana, pcp, crank, lsd, downers, speed, u name it the Falls has had it since early 1970s.
Many big dealers live in the Falls. There is drugs on every block in Cuyahoga Falls, don;t kid yourselves.

You scared me there Bob, I thought I screwed up. I found over two pages on old Nathan, he hasn't be a very good boy, just another thug off the street. Black or white, who cares as long as he's put away.

Can you really refer to it as a heroin house when you didn't find any heroin?
I'm just glad to know that multiple plastic sandwich bags are safely off the street.
Barberton, Oh
Posted 10:40 AM, 07/02/2009
Seriously! Does anyone really think this is an achievement? There are people living all over sitting in their houses getting high. Let them! They weren't caught selling anything, so we are going to throw another no-violent ciminal in a jail that is too full anyway because they had weed and paraphernalia. Doesn't make sense to me???

Duh-maybe they flushed it before the cops could get in. cops wouldn't have busted them unless they are pretty sure they were a bunch of junkie druggies losers. Glad to see the neighboorhood watch was on this-good job.
Gildee-how about being a big girl and saying a sorry to Common Sense and Bob61 for pointing out your error.

Drugs were in C Falls since I was a kid...Where you all been?
Posted 12:58 PM, 07/02/2009
Nice detective work Bob. Although as I'm sure you know, since all of Ms. Harvey's charges were in municipal court none were/are felonies. Felonies are the exclusive jurisdiction of the common pleas court in the county where the defendant resides.
I'm wondering why the federal marshalls got involved? Only way is if they thought these two were dealers rather than the petty users it turns out they truly are. Too bad for the defendants; now the feds will charge them for possession as well as facing state charges.
Barberton, Oh
Posted 01:15 PM, 07/02/2009
@Bikergirl: To pursue obtaining a search warrant one must have overwhelming evidence that illegal/illicit activity is/has occurred. If you read correctly, the article states that the Falls PD was pursuing individuals for trafficing yet neither of those arrested were for that crime. Leads me to believe that the main players were not at home. Not to mention just b/c the police didn't advise the media of everything doesn't mean it didn't happen...
Posted 01:29 PM, 07/02/2009
Speaking of Heroin. Here is a little known fact. Since 2001 over 90% of the worlds herion comes from afghanistan.
Hmmm what should we outlaw?

These were solely from Summit County, not Akron, not the Falls, not Portage County. 5 felony convictions since 2002. More than the vast majority of Americans, or probably the population of the planet, rack up in a lifetime. I just don't have the time, or desire, to research the entire criminal record of this clown. But since you seem determined to defend him, shouldn't you at least research some?

You're right, I'll admit Harvey has stayed in the minor leagues until yesterday,s felony charge. I expect that to be lowered too.
But she's been flirting with disaster for a while with multiple M1 convictions.
She needs something to wake her up.
Posted 05:18 PM, 07/02/2009
Since 2001 over 90 % of the worlds heroin comes from Aghanistan. Stop the Wars. We do not have an economic crisis. We are financing two wars. Do not cut our school budgets or raise our taxes. End these outrageously expensive wars on.......what again?

Maybe they'd leave your posts up if you'd educate yourself as to what topic you're commenting on. This subject has nothing to do with politics, whether you're a dove or a hawk.
Posted 10:07 PM, 07/02/2009
Okay Bob or boob. If most of the worlds heroin comes from afganistan. And this article is about heroin. I think the United States occupation of Afghanistan is relevent to this article.
Obviously you have not educated yourself on the fertile crescent.
End the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

@Everyone... I am not interested in anyone's criminal record, I just don't want UCS or anyone else posting untruths and since Amber Dial has no record in Akron, who cares bout what she is doing in Stow! I just don't have time to find out what people did in other city's.
But I am still trying to find the purpose of posting someone's criminal record, especially a dead man's. Oh, this means it is okay to be shot to death oh, ok, I see ur point!
@olfuzzster...he%% ain't freezin over yet and no apology will be given to persons who just simply snoop and post bout other peoples lives but complain if the same is done to them.

@Gildee's quote, "U are posting arrest records and that has nothing to do with convictions cause people are arrested and let go all the time"
Nearly spit my coffee thru my nose laughing at this one!! Thanks for the comic relief. I mean, you are always at least mildly entertaining, but these kinds of comments are the height of hilarity.
Of COURSE people are arrested and let go all the time - but the SAME person over and over again?!?! Sort of strains credulity and critical thinking, doesn't it? Of course, these were actually convictions, not mere arrests, which invalidates your statement in it's entirety, but I digress...
I know I get "arrested and let go all the time" - how many times has it happened to you?
