Two arrested on multiple drug charges in St. Clairsville

ST. CLAIRSVILLE — A man and woman were arrested in Belmont County on several drug charges, according to the Belmont County Sheriff’s Office.

Brittany Zielinsky, 35, of St. Clairsville and Dustin Hampton, 29, of Michigan were arrested Monday and charged with two counts of trafficking drugs, two counts of possession of drugs and having weapons under disability. Both also were charged with possession of drug instruments.

Each is being held at the Belmont County Jail on $82,000 bond.

The arrest stems from a search warrant for drug activity executed by the Belmont County Sheriff’s Criminal Interdiction Unit after a month-long investigation.

Detectives executed the search warrant on a house on Rehm Road and arrested Zielinsky and Hampton upon allegedly discovering 155 grams of fentanyl, 50 grams of cocaine, a large amount of Xanax and three firearms.

Belmont County Sheriff James Zusack said that he would like to thank the Ohio State Highway Patrol and the St. Clairsville Police Department for assisting in the investigation.
