Drug Possession Case Update – Gabriella Cantu – Sentenced to Prison
Union City, Ohio – The Union City Police Department announces the conclusion of a significant drug possession case involving Gabriella Cantu. Initially charged in 2023 with possession of a bulk amount of methamphetamine, Cantu’s defense filed a motion to suppress evidence, which was granted by the Darke County Common Pleas Court. However, following an appeal by the Darke County Prosecutor’s Office, the Second District Court of Appeals reversed this decision.
Cantu has since accepted a plea deal, pleading guilty to aggravated possession of drugs—methamphetamine, a felony of the second degree. She was sentenced to a minimum of two and a maximum of three years in the Ohio Department of Corrections. Cantu has been placed in the custody of the Darke County Sheriff’s Office and will be transported to the Ohio Department of Corrections.
The Union City Police Department remains committed to combatting drug-related crimes that impact our community. We extend our gratitude to the Darke County Prosecutor’s Office for their diligence and collaboration, ensuring accountability for those who endanger our residents with illegal substances.
