CIRCLEVILLE – Circleville police have arrested five people at the home of 135 Barry ct in Circleville.
According to police the five people who have been arrested are Danielle Denise, Lisa Binkley, Derek, Binkley, Samantha Salyers, and Joshua Binkley all charged with Negligent Homicide.
On March 25, 2020 the Alliance of the Circleville Police Department, the Circleville Municipal Court Probation Department and the U.S. Marshalls Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team (S.O.F.A.S.T.) conducted a Search Warrant at 135 Barry Drive in the city of Circleville. The Circleville Fire Department and Pickaway County Children’s Services also assisted on the scene.
The reason for the search warrant was to locate evidence and to arrest individuals associated with a fatal overdose which occurred at the residence. The individuals associated in this case did not provide ample assistance to the individual who was overdosing at the residence. If they would have called 911 it is possible the overdose would not have ended fatally. That incident occurred on March 5, 2020.
During the search warrant at the residence officers located Heroin, several digital scales, glass pipes used for smoking Methamphetamine, over 100 used/unused syringes, Suboxone, baggies, foil and several cell phones. Inside the residence 2 minors were also located one of which was 2 years old.
