Good Work by Sheriff's Deputy nets Drug Suspects

    Johnson County Sheriff's Deputy Travis Derrett noticed a suspicious vehicle in area of Whiteland Road and Graham Road in rural Pleasant Township, just outside Whiteland.  After watching the vehicle for a while, Deputy Derrett stopped the vehicle and quickly determined that the occupants had just finished stealing anhydrous ammonia, a precursor of the popular and dangerous drug Methamphetamine.  As a result of this traffic stop and the good police work that followed prior to and following the traffic stop, the Johnson County Sheriff's Office located and dismantled yet another very dangerous methamphetamine laboratory.  Deputy Derrett's superior work is reflective of the dedication of this agency to proactively and aggressively identify, seek, and incarcerate users and manufacturer's of illegal narcotics.  If you have information regarding the use or manufacturing of illegal narcotics in Johnson County, leave a message on the Sheriff's Office Narcotics Tip Line at 317-736-2279; Callers can remain anonymous.
