Stark County Sheriff’s Office Announces Significant Drug Arrest
Narcotics and firearms taken off the streets
CANTON, Ohio, Feb. 25, 2025 – The Stark County Sheriff’s Office today announced a significant arrest that removed a large amount of narcotics from the streets of Canton, Ohio. The arrest was the result of a joint effort by the Sheriff’s Office’s Metro Narcotics Unit, the FBI Safe Streets Task Force, and the city of Canton’s Special Investigations Unit.
“Today’s announcement demonstrates the power of local law enforcement collaboration,” said Sheriff Eric Weisburn. “By working together, we made a very important arrest that helped to make our neighborhoods safer.”
After an extensive investigation into the sales of cocaine, search warrants were issued for the 1200 block of 6th Street NE and the 3200 block of Glen Place NW, both in the city of Canton. The warrants resulted in the arrest of Jayvon Lee Cundiff, 35, of Canton, Ohio, on the charges of Trafficking in Cocaine, Felony 1; Possession of Cocaine, Felony 1; and Having Weapons under Disability, Felony 3. Approximately 900 grams of cocaine were seized, along with six firearms and approximately $61,000.
The case remains under investigation by the Stark County Sheriff’s Office, and investigators request that anyone with information about this incident contact them at (330) 430-3800 or the Anonymous Crime Tip Line at (330) 451-3937.
Sheriff Weisburn also asks Stark County citizens for their assistance in combating crime. “Law enforcement can’t do it alone,” he said. “We need citizens to help us by being aware of their surroundings and sharing their concerns with us. It will take all of us working together to help keep Stark County safe.”
