The headquarters of a carrier based in Dayton, Ohio have been raided by the Secret Service and agents from Ohio’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
It is important to note that the Secret Service is involved in more than just its most well-known job of protecting current, former, and future presidents. They are also involved in enforcing counterfeiting laws, investigating financial and digital crimes, and more.
On Tuesday agents entered Steve R. Rauch, Inc., a locally known and sometimes controversial company that provides trucking and demolition services. They have been involved in multiple high-profile projects in the Dayton, Ohio area, including many publicly funded projects.
The company has worked on multi-million dollar contracts with the local, state, and federal government. They have even done extensive work as part of a $12 million project at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
The search wasn’t limited to only Steve R. Rauch, Inc. property. Investigators also searched a different property owned by Rauch in nearby Jefferson Township called Bearcreek Farm.
When they gained entrance to the properties, they did so with warrants that are still sealed. So far investigators have not stated what they are looking for.
A local contact for the secret service stated that “Secret Service does not comment on active investigations.”
Rauch himself says that he doesn’t know why investigators were searching his property on Tuesday.
“They haven’t told me anything,” he said. “I can’t tell you anything if I don’t know anything.”

Part of many criminal investigations is that the reasons and tips are not mentioned until its completed and charges are brought. Some major reasons involve corruption, conspiracy, tax fraud, and sometimes murder.

The Secret Service isn’t like the Police or the FBI. They don’t make assumptions, and they don’t make mistakes, ever!
J.Griffin says
If they are human,
They can make mistakes.
Are they human?

Unless they’re in Colombia!

LOL…yeah right. Like when the Salahi couple got into a White House party and meet the president without an invitation, or in 2001 when a guy fired a rifle at the building, and the Secret Service officer in charge orders his detail to stand down because he thought it was only a car backfiring? Or maybe in 2014 when they let a “security detail” contractor with a gun and an assault record get on an elevator with the president. Of course, there is also a variety of incidents involving secret service officers being drunk and bringing hookers to their hotels.
But other than all that, yeah…they’re perfect.

A friend of mine picked up 600.00 in counterfeit bills on a holding cell while being held for child support. Upon being transferred to another facility when released Secret service interrogated him for a period of time. Even carried him home and searched his home. The end result when they found no printer or computer was… are you willing to take a polygraph ?
He said not tonight… it’s been a 15 hour day. Well we aren’t going to investigate any further at this time.
An experience he’ll never forget.
MusicMan says
Probably just felt like looking around for no reason.
Trucker's Wife says
Finally! I was wondering how long this company could continue it’s shady practices “undetected”.
Pat says
what do you know about this company..
Nicolas D. says
They were probably “detected” a long time ago but the problems, as always, is the time needed to build a solid case with solid proofs so that they don’t just slip through the cracks of your case file in the first court instance.
Chad says
Do tell, what do you mean by that, thousands are wondering.
Trap says
If you don’t believe they don’t make mistakes. Just ask them!
Edward H. Lester says
So without disclosing what, or why they are looking, they can rummage through all this company’s papers and effects using “sealed se a r h warrants”? No wonder their initials are the same as Hitler’s Secret Police , SS. Who’s next? Me? You?
LTLTrucker says
Dayton Freight is that you??? Lol.
Kelly in TN says
Why did they have to pay 2.35 million dollars?
