Body Found in Parking Lot

The Licking County Sheriff’s Office said they’re investigating a body found in Buckeye Lake.

The sheriff’s office said a body was found dead in a parking lot of Milldam Road just east of Route 79.

The Sheriff’s Office said there were no signs of foul play. They have arrested 28-year-old Joshua McCloud, of Hebron, on an aggravated trafficking warrant.

McCloud was in possession of a 2000 Ford Ranger owned by the deceased.
