Police officers seized more than 10,000 controlled anxiety pills, large amounts of marijuana and psilocybin mushrooms, plus multiple guns as part of a drug bust in Xenia, law enforcement announced Monday.

Agents with the Greene County Agencies for Combined Enforcement, Xenia Police Division, and the Ohio Investigative Unit executed a search warrant Feb. 26 at a Xenia address that law enforcement did not disclose.

The search warrant stemmed from a long-term drug trafficking investigation initiated by the Ohio Investigations Unit in 2024, according to a statement from OIU.

Police seized “a large amount of evidence indicative of drug trafficking,” according to the Monday statement, including three pistols, a .22 caliber rifle, an AK-47-style rifle with a drum magazine, and ammunition. Police also seized approximately 10,000 suspected 2 mg Xanax pills, multiple pounds of suspected marijuana, and approximately a pound of suspected psilocybin mushrooms.
