In the early morning hours of Oct. 22, deputies with the Mason County Sheriff’s Department found approximately $2,000 worth of heroin and $800 that was seized in the raid at a home on Lincoln Avenue in Point Pleasant. It was the result of a 22-hour, non-stop investigation that led to the arrests of Swisher as well as Phillip Eugene Jackson and Torell Justice, both of Dayton, Ohio, Thomas Robert Mallette of Point Pleasant, Brittani Nicole Roush of Henderson and Catherine Lee Browning of Point Pleasant.

Swisher was indicted by the January grand jury. He will be sentenced May 18.
