Padden announced that on July 2nd, 2026, Detectives and Deputies from the Guernsey County Sheriff’s Office, in collaboration with the CODE Task Force, executed a narcotics-related search warrant at a Jasmine Lane residence stemming from a large-scale cocaine trafficking investigation.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Missing Juvenile Located Safely During Traffic Stop in Guernsey County
GUERNSEY COUNTY, Ohio (June 15, 2026) — Guernsey County Sheriff Jeffrey D. Paden announced that a missing juvenile reported out of Virginia was safely located during a traffic stop conducted by deputies and detectives of the Guernsey County Sheriff’s Office.
On the evening of Wednesday, June 10, 2026, a deputy assigned to the Sheriff’s Office Road Division was conducting routine patrol when a vehicle registration check through the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) revealed information indicating a missing juvenile may be associated with the vehicle.
Deputies coordinated with detectives from the Investigations Division, who began monitoring the vehicle in unmarked units. The vehicle was subsequently observed traveling into the Reservoir area of East Cambridge, where deputies and detectives conducted a traffic stop and made contact with the driver and several occupants.
During the investigation, deputies located a juvenile female inside the vehicle and confirmed that she had been reported missing as a runaway from the Commonwealth of Virginia. Investigators determined that the juvenile had voluntarily left her grandparents’ residence, where she resides.
Guernsey County Children's Services was notified and assisted as needed. Deputies interviewed all vehicle occupants and discovered that one occupant, identified as Noah Gibson, 18, of Virginia, had an active arrest warrant from the State of Virginia for unrelated charges.
The juvenile was transported to the Guernsey County Sheriff’s Office and was later reunited with her grandparents.
Gibson was taken into custody and transported to the Guernsey County Jail, where he is being held pending extradition proceedings to Virginia.
Sheriff Paden commended the efforts of the deputies and detectives involved in the investigation, which resulted in the safe recovery of the missing juvenile.
This case remains under investigation.
