Two Fulton County residents have been arrested on numerous drug related charges.
Indiana State Police troopers launched an three-month long criminal investigation after receiving information that possible illegal drug activity was occurring at a home in the 700 block of Cherry Tree Lane in Rochester.
During the course of the investigation, a warrant was issued for Adina Jezreel Keckler, 35, of Rochester. The warrant alleged a single charge for possession of methamphetamine. A search warrant was also issued for Keckler’s home.
During a search of Keckler’ s home, officers allegedly found approximately eight ounces of methamphetamine, 11 firearms, and approximately $951.00 in cash. One the recovered firearms was an AR-15 rifle that was reported stolen from Cass County.
Keckler’s younger adult brother was also at the home. He relies on his sister for care and was found to be in an unclean state. Officers transported him to a local hospital to be checked. He was eventually released into the care of a family member.
Keckler was incarcerated in the Fulton County Jail to face criminal charges for dealing methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine, possession of stolen property, neglect of a dependent, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
As the investigation progressed, troopers developed evidence that led to a search warrant being issued for a home in the 2800 block of E. Main Street in Macy. During a search of the home, officers allegedly found two handguns with obliterated serial numbers, methamphetamine, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia. Officers also purportedly recovered the frame to a motorcycle that had been reported stolen from Howard County.
A resident of the home, Scotty Evers, 35, was taken into custody and placed at the Fulton County Jail. He faces criminal charges for possession of stolen property, neglect of a dependent, possession of marijuana, possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and two counts for possession of a handgun with an obliterated serial number.
