Christian County, KY — Earlier today, detectives with the Christian County Sheriff’s Office Anti-Crime Unit, working alongside CID Agents from Fort Campbell, executed a search warrant at a home in Christian County following a months-long investigation.

During the search of a residence in the 100 block of Gail Street in Oak Grove, KY, detectives recovered two handguns — a Taurus 9mm with restricted ammunition and a Ruger .380 — along with marijuana, psilocybin mushrooms, cocaine, suspected fentanyl, drug paraphernalia, and rolling papers.
The homeowner, 52-year-old Lewis H. Ohara, was taken into custody at the scene. Ohara admitted that all of the items belonged to him and acknowledged he was a convicted felon who is not allowed to possess firearms. He also shared with investigators that he had only seven months left on supervision after serving a 36-year sentence.
“We are committed to working with our partners to get dangerous drugs and weapons off the streets,” said Sheriff Tyler DeArmond. “Today’s arrest is the result of solid teamwork between our deputies and the agents at Fort Campbell.”
Ohara was transported to the Christian County Jail and is facing multiple charges, including:
- Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon
- Trafficking in Marijuana (First Offense)
- Trafficking in a Controlled Substance, First Offense (Carfentanil or Fentanyl Derivatives)
