Author: Beaver County Radio
Minister arrested during drug raid in Center Township
Story by Sandy Giordano – Beaver County Radio. Published June 10, 2024 9:47 A.M.
(Center Township, Pa) 68 year old Reverend Myron Knox of 133 Radcliff Drive in Center Township was arrested early last Friday morning when police assisted by the DA’s Anti-Drug Task Force and the county’s ESU used flash bangs to enter the home. Knox was charged with several felony and misdemeanor narcotic and firearm charges. Among the drugs found was crack cocaine and marijuana. Police Chief Aldo Legge reported on Monday morning that trends in narcotic sales have changed, which include traffickers and dealers camouflaging within smaller, quiet communities so as to draw attention to their nefarious and dangerous activities. The chief said the police department is dedicated to providing and maintaining a safe environment for the community and its residents.
Knox was taken to the county jail after being arraigned and has been released. He faces a hearing on all charges in relation to his arrest on Monday, June 17 8:45 a.m. in Beaver County Central Court.
