Good morning, Muskingum County. In the digital age, even prison walls can't stop the flow of illegal transactions. A deadly scheme inside the county jail has been uncovered after inmate Dakota McCormick's fatal fentanyl overdose, leading to murder charges against Antonio Cannada. Prosecutors are drawing a hard line, warning that anyone facilitating drug deals—even remotely through apps like Cash App—will face serious consequences in a case that tragically demonstrates how technology can enable crime in unexpected places.
While one Zanesville resident escaped injury after crashing on a Pennsylvania interstate last Monday, spiritual healing takes center stage as Father Gardner prepares to explore "Connecting to God Through Lament" at the third Lenten Luncheon. His presentation on March 19th will feature theological insights alongside musical offerings, creating a thoughtful space for community reflection. Those attending might consider carpooling, as the event's popularity has created parking challenges near The Presbyterian Church in Coshocton.

🚗 Ohio woman crashes on Pennsylvania interstate, escapes injury. Twenty-one-year-old Alexandra Wright from Zanesville hit a guide wire on I-376 East in Brighton Township last Monday. The single-vehicle accident resulted in no injuries to Wright, who was transported privately after the incident. Pennsylvania State Police in Beaver County reported the crash but filed no charges against the driver. The accident occurred in Brighton Township, about an hour northwest of Pittsburgh.
💊 Jail drug deals lead to murder charge after inmate's overdose. A Muskingum County investigation revealed Antonio Cannada and Chantay Dobbins used Cash App to facilitate methamphetamine and fentanyl transactions inside the jail. Their scheme was uncovered after inmate Dakota McCormick died from a fentanyl overdose in May 2024. Cannada faces multiple felony charges including murder, while Dobbins recently pleaded guilty to money laundering and could face three years in prison. Prosecutors warned they're targeting anyone who assists inmates with illegal transactions, stating "drug dealing and helping drug dealers takes lives."
🙏 Father Gardner to explore "Connecting to God Through Lament" at luncheon. The Catholic priest will speak at the third Lenten Luncheon on March 19 at The Presbyterian Church in Coshocton, using texts from Psalms 13 and 22. Gardner, who holds a Master of Theology and was ordained in 2015, will also sing "Were You There" with piano accompaniment. The weekly luncheons feature soups prepared by local churches and culinary students, with donations benefiting the Clothe a Child project.
