A raid at a home in Elkhart resulted in 13 arrests last week, including an alleged cocaine dealer.

Elkhart County ICE led the raid at the home on South 3rd Street after more than two years of investigating drug traffic in and out of the residence. EPD Sgt. Chris Snyder told The Elkhart Truth that the department’s special response team assisted in the raid.

Confidential informants made two cocaine purchases in September from 60 year-old Edgar Hatfield. He and 12 others were all taken into custody last Wednesday morning.

Hatfield was charged with dealing more than 10 grams of cocaine, a Level 2 felony, two counts of dealing 1 to 5 grams of cocaine, which are Level 4 felonies, a Level 5 dealing cocaine charge, and maintaining a common nuisance, which is a Level 6 felony. He remains in Elkhart County jail in $100,000 bond.

Three people were arrested for misdemeanor charges of maintaining a common nuisance:

• Markus Johnson, 57, remained in custody at the jail Friday on $3,000 bond.

• Danielle Robinson, 32, remained in custody at the jail Friday on $5,000 bond. She also was arrested for a warrant from a 2014 operating while intoxicated case.

• Marvis Johnson, 31, posted $5,000 bond and was released from jail on Friday. He also is facing a charge of being a felon in possession of a handgun.

Nine people were arrested for misdemeanor charges of visiting a common nuisance:

• Peggy Howell and Derek Duffield, both 45, remained in the jail Friday on $1,500 bond each. Howell was arrested on an additional charge of providing a false name to police and a warrant from a forgery case field in 2015.

 

• Heather Allen, 41, remained in the jail Monday on $3,000 bond. She also is facing a felony drug possession charge and misdemeanor resisting law enforcement and disorderly conduct charges in a separate case filed in February 2017.

• Shuree Perez, 59, remained in the jail Monday on $10,000 bond. He also was arrested on a warrant for felony and misdemeanor theft from a case filed earlier this year.

• Yolanda Hall, 44, posted $1,500 bond and was released from jail on Friday.

• Anthony Bonds, 50, remained in the jail Monday on $3,000 bond.

• Felicia Ware, 46, remained in the jail Monday on $1,500 bond.

• Tina Gingerich, 48, remained in the jail Monday on $3,000 bond.
