Son, mother arrested for apartment drug shop
DAYTON — A 25-year-old man allegedly selling drugs out of his mother’s apartment got both of them arrested on Tuesday, Feb. 24, when detectives set up an undercover deal, according to a police report.
William D. Odom was arrested on charges of possessing criminal tools, trafficking in drugs and possession of drugs following the incident at 7 p.m. His mother, Tannize Odom, 43, was arrested on a charge of permitting drug abuse, the report said.
According to the report, detectives set up a drug deal with a man later identified as Odom. They arranged to buy nine capsules of heroin for $110, and Odom instructed them to drive to a parking lot behind an apartment building at 4343 Fair Oaks Road in several cell phone conversations.
When detectives arrived, Odom exited the building, walked to the car, handed over the heroin and collected the money, the report said. Detectives then arrested Odom.
Odom said he was staying in his mother’s apartment in the building, so he couldn’t consent to a search. When Tannize Odom arrived home, she gave a verbal consent to a search that yielded 85 capsules of cocaine, a plate with a razor blade and heroin residue, a digital scale with drug residue, marijuana and cash. Odom said they were not his mother’s, the report said.
When asked to sign a form consenting to the search, Tannize Odom “began to act strangely and began to praise God and pray for God” and declined to sign the form, the report said. Police then stopped the search.
Odom has been convicted five times on charges of possession of cocaine, trafficking in cocaine, assault, vandalism and having weapons under disability.

Sounds like William D. does OK with his disability, maybe he should try getting a “real” job.

Jean: Weapons under disability means he has been convicted of another crime and is not permitted by law to have a firearm. He is not disabled. :(

Not only were they selling drugs, it sounds like they were harvesting nuts there too. Praise the Lord.

Drugs are everywhere, not just Dayton. Jo Smith did a great job detailing the dope problem in the city but its not like Dayton is an international port of drugs like Atlanta or New york. People get high in every county of this country. think sensibly when you generalize.

Dayton isn’t the only city with drugs. (These negative Dayton generalizations just kill me.)

sure way to end the drugs in dayton: lace all drugs confiscated with arsenic (or rat poison or some other lethal substance), put an ad in the paper stating drugs are available to anyone who wants them BUT they may be mixed with arsenic. The problem should take care of itself within a short period of time.

I am so with Scherezade. Suburbanites take great pleasure in dogging our fair city. I am a Native Daytonian, and I still love my little city. If you don’t live in the city limits, keep your bourgeois attitudes and rude remarks in the suburbs.

What’s funny is that the Burbanites come here to probably buy their dope. Then trash talk us.

She refused to sign the search form, so they stopped the search? Wow what nice corruption there is stemming from this stench. Yes all the rich yuppies from Kettering and so forth come to downtown to buy their dope then make fun of the losers they just bought from. Either rate in the mug shots they both look strung out on a week long high.
