St. Clair County law enforcement made a major push against illegal drugs last week, arresting three people in separate raids. Deputies seized meth and drug paraphernalia in Clyde Township, arresting 73-year-old John Ross. In Wales Township, officers found meth, packaging materials, scales, and ammunition, leading to the arrests of 64-year-old John Fiks and 56-year-old Theresa Vanerp. All three now face multiple felony charges, including possession, maintaining drug houses, and tampering with evidence. Authorities say the effort targets not just drugs, but the people distributing.
