  3. Troopers Arrest Several on Drug Charges after Warrant Service

 

Troopers from Indiana State Police Sellersburg Post 45 made multiple arrests after initially serving an outstanding warrant on a Pekin woman.

Late Wednesday, Trooper Kyle Taylor gained information that 53-year-old Edna Murphy was wanted for a probation violation related to possession of methamphetamine. Trooper Taylor also learned Murphy was staying at an address off SR 60 just south of Pekin near the Clark County line. 
When officers arrived, they located Murphy but also observed indicators that led them to apply for a search warrant for the premises. 

As a result of the search, the investigation continued into the early morning hours of Thursday, and troopers located over 20 grams of suspected methamphetamine and ultimately arrested five individuals located at the address. The names and charges of all arrested are listed below:
