LOOGOOTEE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — A man who was shot inside his residence, is now facing a level 2 felony after police allegedly found over 83 grams of methamphetamine inside, according to a Probable Cause Affidavit (PCA).
Officials said, that on February 14, the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO), along with the Martin County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO), were dispatched to the residence of Nathan T. Harmon for reports of a gunshot wound. Deputies said Harmon was the victim in the shooting.
While inside Harmon’s residence, deputies allegedly observed drug paraphernalia in plain sight. According to the PCA, Detective Keith Hinderliter advised that Harmon was allegedly in possession of drug paraphernalia and a digital scale.
After a search warrant was granted for Harmon’s residence, the PCA said several drug-related items, drug paraphernalia, a small pouch with smoking devices and a large amount of a crystal-like substance were allegedly found inside.
“Through my training and experience as a law enforcement officer as well as several methamphetamine-related arrests, (the crystal-like substance) appeared to be methamphetamine,” said Breighton Tolliver of DCSO.
A separate search warrant was then granted for dealing with methamphetamine-related items, and inside officers allegedly found several scales with a crystal-like residue on them, $6,000 in all $100 bills located in a large beverage jug and 83.44 grams of methamphetamine, according to the PCA.
The PCA also said officers found 9.72 grams of a white clumpy powered-like substance, that will be sent to the State Lab for further testing after officers were unable to get a good field test on it.
“With the totality of evidence located within the residence, I have reason to believe that Harmon was dealing in large amounts of methamphetamine. Harmon will be long formed for Dealing in Methamphetamine due to being taken to the hospital for his injuries sustained in the shooting,” said Tolliver.
According to MyCase, Harmon was charged with Dealing in Methamphetamine: Poss. w/ Intent, 10g or more, a level 2 felony.
