HARRISON COUNTY, Ohio --- —

Twelve people are behind bars after a drug roundup Friday night by the Harrison County Sheriff's Office.

Sheriff Ron Myers says these arrests stem from six to eight months of undercover operations.
Myers says that prescription pills, crack cocaine, powder cocaine and marijuana were sold to undercover agents. 
All the suspects were charged with drug trafficking.
The sheriff let NEWS9 follow them around Friday as they did their roundup.
The sheriff says five of the people were charged with a second-degree felony charge of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity and are accused of operating a sophisticated drug ring which brought drugs to Harrison County from Youngstown and Steubenville.
"We got everybody except a those three; there are still three individuals still at large, and we'll get them, it just take a little bit of time to get them," said Myers.
All those arrested will go in front of Judge Michael Nunner for bond and arraignment hearing Monday. 
This investigation was a combined effort of the multicounty L.E.A.D. task force as well as the Harrison County Sheriff's Office and the Jewett and Cadiz police departments.
