Ashland County Sheriff’s Office Executes Third Search Warrant at U.S. Route 42 Residence
West Salem, OH – For the third time in just over two years, law enforcement officials have executed a search warrant at 16 U.S. Route 42 in Ashland County. The Ashland County Sheriff’s Office, in coordination with the Ashland Police Division, carried out the most recent operation on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, at approximately 7:30 a.m.
Sheriff Kurt J. Schneider confirmed in a press release that the search led to the seizure of undisclosed evidence, which is now undergoing forensic analysis. Authorities also took one individual, Ms. Susan Canfield, into custody on an outstanding warrant issued by the Ashland Municipal Court.
This marks the third law enforcement action at the residence, following previous search warrants executed on November 1, 2022, and August 4, 2023. Officials have not yet disclosed what prompted the latest search, but the Ashland County Prosecuting Attorney is currently reviewing possible additional charges.
No injuries were reported during the operation.
“The successful execution of this warrant and seizure of criminal evidence at that residence is a testament to the commitment by local law enforcement to holding criminal behavior accountable to the law,” Sheriff Schneider stated. “The Ashland County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the public for their vigilance in continued support by providing information to law enforcement related to criminal behavior.”
The investigation remains ongoing.
