Home confinement check results in drug arrest

FAIRMONT, W.Va. Deputies from the Marion County Sheriff’s Department made a drug possession arrest while checking on a subject in home confinement in Fairmont.

On Friday, June 2, police went to the residence on Locust Avenue and found the GPS monitoring device but could not find the subject.

While searching the home for the subject, deputies found an ash tray in a bedroom with a white powder that tested positive for suspected methamphetamine and a smoking pipe. A safe found in the room contained four bags of suspected methamphetamine, a scale, packaging materials, and cash.

The home confinement officer informed deputies that Destiny Bogo, 23, of Fairmont, also lived in the home.

Bogo was arrested later and is being held in the North Central Regional Jail in lieu of a $20,012 bond.
