DRUGS
December 12, 2025 – While on patrol, I got behind the listed 2005 Honda on Grant St near E Fourth St in the city of Greenville, Ohio. I followed the vehicle on Grant St to E Main where I observed the vehicle fail to signal its turn prior 100 feet to go eastbound onto E Main St. I then initiated the traffic stop. The driver of the vehicle and was slow to stop and drove approximately two blocks, stopping at E Main and Tecumseh.
I made contact with the operator/defendant Justin Canan and advised him of the reason for the stop. Canan was cooperative in furnishing his driver’s license and proof of insurance. When asked about if there were any weapons or drugs in the vehicle, he stated that he had a, “roach” from earlier. A roach is a common term for a partially smoked Marijuana cigarette. Canan denied being the one who smoked the Marijuana. Canan gave consent to search his vehicle. Canan stepped out of his vehicle and also gave consent to search his person. Nothing was located on Canan’s person.
While searching the vehicle, I located a bag of what appeared to be Psilocyn Mushrooms in the center console. I held the bag up and shone my light on the bag and Canan stated, “I forgot about that.” Lt Monnin then detained Canan and placed him into handcuffs and gave him his Miranda warning. When asked about the mushrooms.
Canan stated it would be “less than a quarter,” referring to their weight.
Upon PO Wolfe’s arrival, Lt Monnin assisted me in searching the vehicle. Lt Monnin located a glass smoking device or “bubble” stuffed under the dash between the steering wheel and the plastic in the steering column. The “bubble” is a common smoking device for Methamphetamine and had residue that was consistent with Methamphetamine use.
Lt Monnin then did a thorough search of Canan’s person.
Canan stated, “The cat is out of the bag at this point,” and stated the bubble is what his stressor was.
Canan then stated again that he forgot the mushrooms were in the vehicle. No other illegal substances were located.
The suspected Psilocyn Mushrooms and the glass smoking device were seized and transported to the Greenville Police Department. The suspected Psilocyn Mushrooms will be sent to the lab and a grand jury indictment will be pending lab results.
OVI
November 21, 2025 – At approximately 10:10 pm, I observed a silver Chevy bearing Ohio registration KIT8772 traveling north on Sweitzer Street, in the City of Greenville. Prior to this observation, the Darke County Sheriff’s Office received a call in reference to this vehicle driving all over the roadway while traveling north on State Route 49 South.
Upon getting behind this vehicle, I observed the vehicle swerving in the northbound lane of Sweitzer Street. This vehicle hit the center yellow line multiple times before going over the center line on Sweitzer Street near Bickle Hill.
Upon taking the curve from Sweitzer Street onto West Fourth Street, this vehicle again hit the center line and almost struck a vehicle parked on the south side of the road.
I initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle on West Fourth Street at Euclid Avenue and made contact with the driver. The driver identified himself as Phoenix Les Williams, who is also the registered owner of the vehicle. I introduced myself to Phoenix and advised him that the reason for the traffic stop was his swerving and crossing the center line.
At this time, I observed Phoenix’s pupils to be dilated and his speech to be slowed. Phoenix then handed me his driver’s license. I then began speaking with the passenger who identified himself as Jetsen Williams, Phoenix’s brother. I then asked Jetsen for his license and he began fumbling around for it. Jetsen appeared to have slowed reaction time, slowed speech and dilated pupils.
I then asked Phoenix for his registration and insurance, to which he stated he had the insurance with him but was unsure where the registration was. Phoenix then pulled up his ‘Progressive Insurance’ app on his phone and stared at the screen for approximately 40 seconds before trying to log in. Phoenix stated that the two were on their way back home to Greenville from a friend’s house in Englewood. I then asked Phoenix if the two had been drinking tonight, which he stated they had not. Phoenix denied having any weapons in the car and denied having illegal substances in the vehicle.
Phoenix then stated, “I got some I got my cart in the back but I’m 21.”
During this conversation, Jesten handed Phoenix his license to hand to me. Phoenix then dropped Jetsen’s license into his lap. Phoenix then picked the license back up and handed it to me, stating, “Did I give you this already?”
I then returned to my cruiser to check both subjects through LEADS/NCIC. After checking these subjects with dispatch, I returned to Phoenix’s driver’s side of the vehicle and asked him when the last time he had smoked. Phoenix stated that he had last smoked two hours ago and that he also takes anti-psychotics.
I then asked Phoenix to step out of the vehicle and asked him to perform a complete series of Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, to which he agreed. The first test I had Phoenix perform was the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test. I placed Phoenix into the starting position and gave him instructions, to which he stated he understood. During this test, Phoenix continued to look away from the stimulus. I continuously had to refocus Phoenix on the stimulus. During this test, Phoenix also continued to move his head. I observed 0 clues during this test.
The next test I had Phoenix perform was the walk and turn. I placed Phoenix into the starting position and gave him instructions, to which he stated he understood. I demonstrated this test for Phoenix and advised him that he could begin. I observed 4 clues during this test. I observed Phoenix stopping while walking to steady himself; he did not touch heel to toe, he raised his arms more than 6 inches from his sides and he stepped off the line multiple times.
The final test I had Phoenix perform was the one-legged stand. I placed Phoenix into the starting position and gave him instructions, to which he stated he understood. I then demonstrated this test for Phoenix and advised him that he could begin. During this test, I observed 4 clues. I observed Phoenix swaying to keep his balance while performing the test… he continued to raise his arms more than 6 inches from his sides, he continued to hop on one leg and put his foot down multiple times.
On Phoenix’s first time putting his foot down, he stated that 10 seconds had passed, but 15 seconds had actually passed. Phoenix then switched legs and started the count over. On Phoenix’s second time putting his foot down, he stated that 8 seconds had passed, but 14 had actually passed.
Due to Phoenix’s poor performance on the field sobriety testing, as well as indicators and his admissions prior to testing, Phoenix was placed under arrest and into handcuffs that were gap-checked and double-locked. Phoenix was read his Miranda Warning upon arrest, to which he stated he understood. Phoenix, and the bag he was wearing when he began testing, was searched incident to arrest. In this bag, officers located two open packs of Shine Sativa Vape Cartridges.
On these packs, there are multiple logos for containing CBD, THC, Delta 9, etc. These packs also show that per 10-second inhale, the user receives 5mg of dosage. Phoenix then consented to the search of his vehicle, with nothing located.
I then spoke with Jesten and advised him that Phoenix was under arrest for OVI. I advised Jesten that Phoenix wanted their grandma, Robin O’Neill, to come to the scene to retrieve the vehicle and Jesten. Jesten then contacted Robin, who arrived shortly after to retrieve Jesten and the vehicle. Throughout this interaction with Jeste,n he appeared to be heavily intoxicated and incoherent due to drug usage. Jesten denied rescue multiple times.
Phoenix was transported to the Greenville Police Department, where he was read the BMV2255 in the presence of P.O. Russell. Phoenix voluntarily provided a breath and urine sample. The results of his breath sample showed a breath alcohol concentration of 0.000 per 210 liters of his breath. Phoenix was advised that his urine sample would be sent to the lab for testing.
Phoenix was issued a citation for left of center and OVI. Phoenix was given his copy of the citation, as well as the BMV2255 and his breath test results. Phoenix was advised that, pending the urine results that his license could be seized and his driving privileges could be placed under ALS.
Phoenix was then released to Robin O’Neill at the police department. The backseat of cruiser 1941 was checked prior to and after transport, with nothing located.
Phoenix’s urine sample was placed into the refrigerator in the property room to be sent for testing.
December 2, 2025 – At approximately 6:16 pm, during routine patrol, I observed a vehicle traveling northbound on Walnut St that ran a stop sign at the intersection of East 3rd St. and Walnut St.
I activated my overhead lights and conducted a traffic stop for the aforementioned offense.
The vehicle, a 2015 Chevy Silverado, bearing a West Virginia registration of BRO239. I approached the vehicle and contacted the driver, Rodney Kiser. I explained to Kiser the reason for my stop and requested his driver’s license and proof of insurance. Additionally, I
asked Kiser if he had any firearms in the vehicle. He advised that he had a hunting rifle, which was visible in the front passenger seat. I asked Kiser if he had any other handguns, to which he replied no.
While Kiser was retrieving the requested information, I noticed an open pack of Busch Light beer sitting in the front passenger seat. I asked Kiser if he had been drinking tonight which he initially replied no. I indicated that there was an open pack of beer in the vehicle, which Kiser stated that he had a couple. I asked Kiser when he had consumed the alcohol which he replied a few hours ago. I inquired how long ago and he replied 1 to 2 hours.
I then went back to my cruiser to run Kiser’s information. I returned to the vehicle to speak
with Kiser, who advised that he was just driving around and wanted me to let him go home. I asked why he thought that I wouldn’t let him go home.
He then said. “Can I be honest with you?” I replied yes.
He said that he had stuff going on at home and that he had just started driving. It was at this time that I noticed Kiser slurring his speech as if he were impaired.
Kiser then said, “Please, for the love of God, just let me go home”.
I asked Kiser where he lived and he advised Preston County, West Virginia. I told him that West Virginia was a long drive, and he said he was trying to get a room at the Stardust Motel, but they would not let him with his dogs. I then asked Kiser why he kept wanting me to let him go home.
Kiser then said, “Can’t you just help me get somewhere where I can spend the night?”
I again noticed Kiser slurring his speech and advised him that if he was fine to drive, then I wouldn’t need to follow him and that I did not believe that he was fine to drive. Kiser said that he was fine to drive.
I then said to Kiser, Be honest with me, man. How many of those Busch Lights you drink today?” Rodney then said, “More than- more than you should let me go sir”.
I then told Kiser that I could not let him leave and instructed him to turn the vehicle off and place the keys on the dashboard, which he did.
I then requested another unit to conduct a Standardized Field Sobriety test. I asked Kiser if he wanted to conduct the SFST, which he said he would. Once Kiser exited his vehicle, I could smell an odor of an alcoholic beverage on his person.
I had Kiser stand in a fixed position to perform the HGN (Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus). While conducting the test, I observed 2 clues for lack of smooth pursuit and two clues for nystagmus for distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation.
Next, I had Kiser perform the walk and turn, where I had Kiser stand in the starting position while I explained the instructions. Kiser started the test before the instructions were completed as well as failed to walk touching heel to toe.
Finally, I had Kiser conduct the one-leg stand and instructed him to stand in the starting position while I explained the instructions. Kiser indicated that he understood the instructions and began the test. Kiser was swaying while attempting to count and was unable to keep his foot raised, putting his foot down more than 3 times.
At this point, I believed that Kiser was impaired and was placed under arrest for suspicion of OVI. I placed Kiser and handcuffs, which were gap checked and double locked. Kiser was then placed in the back of my cruiser and read his Miranda rights, which he indicated that he understood. I then searched the immediate area of the vehicle where he was seated, incident to arrest, where I located two open cans of Busch Light, which were partially consumed, as well as a loaded TC Encore ProHunter located in the front passenger seat, and a Smith and Wesson MP 40 located on the right side of the steering column.
Kiser, when asked earlier if there were any other firearms in the vehicle besides the rifle, stated that there were not. The two firearms were collected as evidence and placed into property.
Kiser had two dogs with him at the time of the stop. The dog warden was notified, and the dogs were taken by the dog warden to the Darke County animal shelter. Hurd’s towing was contacted to tow the vehicle, as Kiser did not have anyone who could get the vehicle and the vehicle was not parked legally. Photos of the vehicle were taken prior to the vehicle being towed.
Kiser was transported to the Greenville Police Department and was read the BMV2255 form in the presence of Officer W. Nibert, where he stated he understood. Kiser was given the chance to provide a breath sample on the Intoxilyzer 8000 where he voluntarily gave a breath sample.
The breath sample from Kiser resulted in Kiser having a BAC of .193 (Breath Alcohol Concentration of 25 hundredths of one gram of alcohol by weight per 210 Liters of his breath). Kiser was given his copy of the BMV2255 as well as a copy of his test results.
Kiser was charged with 4511. 43(A) Right-of-Way rule at through highways, stop signs, yield signs a Minor Misdemeanor, 4511.19 (A) (1) (A) OVI a Misdemeanor of the 1st degree, 4511.19 (A) (1) (H) OVI a Misdemeanor of the 1st degree, and 29.16 (D) (1) Improperly Handling Firearms in a Motor vehicle a Felony of the 5th degree.

Department, reference a vehicle headed into Greenville that was swerving in the roadway.
A witness, Craig Carey, called DCSO and stated that he was following a dark-colored Chevy truck that was traveling southbound on State Route 118. Carey advised DCSO that the truck was all over the roadway and almost hit a parked car in Ansonia. As Carey continued to follow the vehicle, he advised that the vehicle would go into the ditch when oncoming traffic was approaching on State Route 118. Upon entering the City of Greenville, Carey advised that the vehicle he was following, which was bearing the Ohio registration KMW6284, had gone up on the curb before turning eastbound onto Russ Road. The vehicle in question turned into 1120 Russ Road, Greenville, the Taco Bell parking lot, and parked, which is where I first located the vehicle.
Carey advised that he would provide a witness statement, which will be attached to this report when it’s provided.
I approached the vehicle, a dark colored 2005 Chevy Avalanche (KMW6284), and made contact with Ezra Setser, who was the only individual in the vehicle and was seated in the driver’s seat when I advised him of the complaint. Setser advised that he was coming from a Christmas party and was heading to Taco Bell for food before returning home to 1370 Benden Way C13 in Greenville.
Due to the nature of the call, I asked Setser if he would be willing to submit to a Standardized Field Sobriety Test. He agreed to conduct the SFST and exited the vehicle. I asked Setser if he was on any medication prescribed to him by a physician. Setser replied that he was on medication for psoriasis. I then asked Setser if he had any recent head injuries, to which he replied, “Not that I’ve been prescribed, sir”.
I then had the defendant remove his hood and hat to begin the SFST. I had the defendant stand in a fixed position to perform the HGN (Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus). While conducting the test, I observed a lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, distinct nystagmus in both eyes at sustained maximum deviation, and the onset of nystagmus before 45 degrees for a total of 6 clues.

The defendant indicated that he understood the instructions and began the test. The defendant was swaying while attempting to count and was unable to keep his foot raised, putting his foot down more than 3 times, for a total of 3 clues.
After the tests, I asked the defendant if he had anything to drink tonight, to which he advised that he may have had consumed 1-2 Busch Lights at around 1600 hours.
