23 warrants served in drug bust

(Continued from page 1) were from buys, where drugs were purchased a minimum of two times. Approximately $6,000 was used in buys to make the arrests, but the dollar amount on the manpower time was not tallied. “Guys worked their days off and everyone worked overtime,” he noted. “We knew when we were going into this it could not be done without the rest of the department filling in. There were times the guys would work their shifts and then go undercover, at no charge.” He also noted the other men on the department were needed to fill the void of the undercover officers, stressing that the overtime and undercover work was not at the taxpayers’ expense. How was all this funded? The sheriff stated officers worked a lot of hours without pay and the funds used to make buys were from a special fund. “We have had a lot of private donations from people in the county,” said the sheriff, mentioning these people asked what they could do. “We have received donations ranging from SIOO-SI,OQO per person.” The money has been set up in a special fund for people to contribute to. Nearing the raid, doubt set in on whether it could be pulled off. “The officers wanted to do the raid. They felt it would work and we decided to take a shot at it after hours of thought,” said the sheriff. “We J re a small depart-

ment,” he added, noting this is why the other departments were called in to help in the round-up. “We all stick together when a job needs to be done in this county. All officers did a good job. There were no confrontations and everything went smooth and well.” But it doesn’t end with these arrests. “We have to continue to work at it. We will never have a drug-free county.” Netted In Raid Officers confiscated cocaine, marijuana, weapons, “drug money,” and three vehicles. A meeting has been set this week with the United States Attorney to seize property. “We feel spending a few days in jail, waiting to make bond, isn’t a deterrent. They can afford to wait when making several thousand dollars (through drug sales.) If you take their autos, houses and businesses, they realize they have a problem.” The warrants carried a total of 72 charges, ranging from class A misdemeanors to class A felonies. The various drug charges include 10 class A felonies, six class B felonies, nine class C felonies, 35 class D felonies, and 12 class A misdemeanors. Arrested in the raid, charges and bonds were: Kim Denise Weihmuller, 31, r 1 boxJ2A, Lot 108, Warsaw, possession of cocaine, $5,000 bond Russell Alan Brown, 30, r 9 box 467, Warsaw, two counts of dealing cocaine, and two counts of

She also told police that while she was being driven around, sexual acts took place and at one point she was ordered out of the vehicle where sexual acts again took place before she was put back into the vehicle.

The woman was then dropped off north of Lake Wawasee, and found her way to a nearby home where she notified a policy agency. Det.
