I find it sad that TPD spent 3 months of their time on this case when I am certain that there are much more serious crimes going on in the city. How many dealers are into heavier drug trafficking that continue to walk the streets of the city providing drugs to our youth that goes unnoticed by our PD? Sounds to me like maybe one officer may have targeted Mr. Dezort........an axe to grind maybe???

I can almost personally guarantee that this loser was supplying pot to most of The kids at THS who choose to smoke it. Regardless of what else is going on in our city, this is an important arrest and will surely lead to trouble for some of the truly naive kids who were buying from him. Well done Twinsburg PD.

If these investigating officers are making 50k a year, I'm sure 2-3 officers were on the case... which means the Twinsburg PD just spent $25,000 - $37,500 in salary alone, not including gas, materials, etc. Good investment? It doesn't even sound like they confiscated anything off the streets? Because trust me they would flaunt it if they found a big amount of anything... At least we can pay his rent now...

How many are still at large behind get go?? That would be a nice follow up article...:

You people amaze me, honestly. Must not be parents, I guess, if you can't see the value in what they've done by getting this LOSER off the streets. And "didn't confiscate anything off the streets?" how 'bout all the weed he was gonna be selling our kids?????

He's not gonna do time he's gonna snitch just like the people who turned him in

It's a vicious circle ninety nine percent of these kids are scared into being confidential informants because the police be little them and tell them things like your gonna get life if you don't cooperate and then they put there lives at risk not knowing the danger there getting them selves into and set friends and or family up to get a little bigger of a bust..... Then these kids get off with no jail time no probation no nothing so they arnt punished and are put back onto the streets to do the same damn thing...........this is how the pd system in our community works

Forreal guys its weed. In reality you've all probably tried it. Its legal in cali so it should be everywhere else. Its not harmful what so ever. So get the hell over it and don't call the kid a loser because to me he's a damn hero.

YOLO....the name says it all.

I've personally witnessed way more accounts of harder drugs, and the complete disrespect the tpd have for a young adults. Spending 3 months on this guy was a waste when there are cocaine, ecstasy, and many more drugs being sold on the streets of twinsburg. They could have spent those 3 months on the more dangerous people of Twinsburg instead of spending it on a marijuana dealer, when within the next decade it has a possibility of being legalized? I'd say this is a waste of our money.

I love how people are calling him a loser? He made a huge mistake and that doesn't make him any less of a person. You can honestly stop commenting because it has nothing to do with you. If your kid chose to buy weed from him then that was there choice, so your child is just as much at fault!

Doesn't T-burg have a heroin problem? Hey THS Parent I smoke with your honor student

This is an outrage.

weed is not a drug, its a plant DUH all natural

Agreed supermcnasty

Aye... maybe he had glaucoma?

Calling him worthless doesn't make you any better of a person? Some of you are making it seem like he is a monster when he isn't! He made a mistake. No one is perfect! If his family looked at this and saw you being rude they are going to feel worse than the already are! How does that make you feel?

These posts are making me sick!!! Apparently none of you are a parent. My heart bleeds for the family of this young man. He may have made mistakes and for that he will pay the appropriate price. His family is suffering at the expense of all of you. Please stop with these horrible rants. We all know that the Twinsburg Police Department spends too much time on inconsequential things........like maybe having a morning meeting at Starbucks.

Marijuana does no harm...to anybody

What I call a waste of money is 2 twinsburg police officers showing up at your door the day after a warrant was issued by the courts for missing a non-traffic citation violation court date. I do not believe that this person is worthless. He has made a mistake and needs to correct change his way of life. He was also caught in 2010 and needs a good support system to change his life.

Hey folks, this is a reminder to please keep the conversation civil. I've deleted several comments for language and making personal attacks on people. Thank you.

I don't thInk the twinsburg patch is right for posting this. All it is doing is harassing Danny dezort and his family. That isn't right, he may have committed a crime but it's only making it worse having people argue over it. I don't care if you're a parent or a kid, doing drugs is anyone's decision. He wouldn't be in trouble for trafficking if there wasn't anyone to buy it. Think about that and show some respect towards his family.

This is the best our police can do? A harmless weed dealer that doesn't even push more than a quarter pound at a time? Go bust a meth lab or something and quit wasting our money.

Victimless crimes

Also notice on this other drug trafficking case (http://twinsburg.patch.com/articles/canton-man-charged-with-drug-trafficking-possession) they specify how many grams of marijuana they found as well as money, flaunting how well they did. This they obviously had nothing to share because all it says is cash. This one also took three months of investigating, the other was a traffic stop. Great job!

Danny is super hot.

The kid made a mistake yes, but calling him names isnt going to change the situation. Just because someone commits a crime does not make them a loser or completely worthless, especially one so minor. Name calling just shows disrespect and ignorance. Maybe we should spend 3 months looking for lost children and murderers, both way more severe than drug trafficking

YOLO... Weed is not legal in Cali. Your making a fool out of yourself. Please dont post comments unless you know the facts because that is a highly unintelligent and false statement. Weed is DECRIMINALIZED in California but not legal. You still need a prescription to obtain it. You cant just go pick it up in isle 9 at your nearest CVS

excuse me, ^^^^^^ YOLO has made some valid statements about this incident so he/she is not making a fool of herself. she may have misworded what was "legal" but do you live in Cali? clearly not so you arent mr. brains up there. with that being said, HATERS BACK OFF

I dont need to live somewhere in order to understand what is going on. You are right the user has made correct statements, im not doubting that one bit, i was jut correcting a false statement that is all. I am not a hater what so ever.

Wow! I am a parent, and I know Danny. Do I agree with what he was doing, no...but, do I think by taking him off the streets is doing a big justice to Twinsburg...no, it’s not. I would like to say this to the NAIVE parents who think he is the only one who is/was dealing to your kids...he's not! If you talked to your children, or they felt comfortable to speak with you...you would know that there are several kids/adults that are growing this...i.e. "Grow Houses" throughout Twinsburg...and if you know how the street system works, you might understand that it didn't take 3 months for them to do anything...they got a phone call from "someone" telling them about Danny...so that they could get his business...and put him out of business! HELLO?? Now I do know, that the Twinsburg police DO target young kids, make bs traffic stops, they make up stories to search cars...trying to make low level busts. Weed is not the only drug...and half of you parents don't even know that other kids are selling/popping pills in the middle schools. Understand something...educate yourself on what you "can't smell" that’s what you need to do! I know this because my own child told me he had a drug problem at RBC...I was naive...and never again! Put that in your pipe and smoke it…

^ great point, very well said

I have been reading the comments here about Mr. Dezort and I have to come to the conclusion that there must have been an officer with an axe to grind against this young man. Why else would a police department spend 3 months and tnousands of dollars of taxpayers money to make this "big" bust?? I understand that a trivial amount of cash and pot was found, he does not own a car or live a flashy lifestyle. Is this your picture of a big time drug dealer??????? I think not........

Everyone keeps complaining "Why doesn't TPD do something about the cocaine/heroin/blah blah blah?"

Here's a thought; if you know about drugs that are being used or sold in Twinsburg, how about calling the police and letting them know about it? And don't play the "I ain't no snitch!" game, you're not a gangster or in the mafia, you live in an upper middle-class suburb. Grow up.

In response to the above comment....calls have been made to TPD and reports about drugs in the schools have been reported for years with what seems to be no resolution. The police department seems to be driven by the "easy" traffic stops rather than focusing on the bigger issues in the city.

Very sad

I'm sure he isnt the only one in the area..it's very sad . However, when one breaks the law they should be held responsible for their actions. You play, you pay...lock the bum up as well as he rest of them. We need to get them off the streets before they do more harm to others and our community.

Steve michaels = officer for TPD.

Steve michaels doesnt get it

Everyone's so quick to point the finger and judge..when in reality it was your kids calling him for it. So if you did your job as adults and mentors then there wouldn't be any problems would there? Before you start judging and criticizing someone you don't know take a step back and reevaluate yourself. You sound so cool calling a kid 30+ years younger then you a scum or dirtbag.
