ELKINS — Sealed indictments for 13 individuals returned by a Randolph County Grand Jury on Oct. 25 were released on Tuesday.

These indictments “were ordered to be sealed until the defendants could be taken into custody pursuant to a warrant issued following the incident,” a Tuesday press release from the Randolph County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office states.

“These cases are a part of ‘Operation Tarnished Ridge’ and were investigated by the Mountain Region Drug and Violent Crimes Task Force, which is comprised of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies,” the release reads.

All of the following indicted individuals, except for Timothy Paul Taylor, Jr., “were apprehended during the ‘Operation Tarnished Ridge’ round-up on Nov. 9, and appeared before the Randolph County Circuit Court for arraignment” on Tuesday, the release states.

Taylor “remains at large and any person with information concerning his whereabouts should contact 304-636-2000, as there is an active warrant for his arrest,” according to the release.

Multiple local law enforcement agencies working together with the ATF, DEA, FBI and the Mountain Region Drug and Violent Crime Task Force completed a sweep of two counties on Nov. 9 that ended in the arrest of 48 individuals.

The operation was part of a two-year investigation that focused on Randolph and Barbour counties. The sweep produced a total of 21 arrests on federal warrants and 27 on state warrants.

The Randolph County Sheriff’s Department, Barbour County Sheriff’s Department, the West Virginia State Police and Elkins City Police Department were all part of the operation that saw 77 law enforcement officers leave a command post early in the morning.

The arrests led to 35 illegal firearms being seized, along with a wide variety of drugs.

“Methamphetamine continues to be a serious problem in our district. When you combine methamphetamine dealers with firearms, it’s a dangerous combination. I commend all of our law enforcement partners for their hard work on these cases, and their continued partnership to make our communities safer places to live and work,” United States Northern District of West Virginia Attorney William J. Ihlenfeld II said of the sweep.
