Two people were arrested for drug-related crimes following a search this morning in Indiana Borough.
District Attorney Robert Manzi announced this morning that the Indiana County Drug Task Force arrested 60-year-old Charles Wilcox and 40-year-old Joshua Stumpf following an investigation of drug sales in a home along the 200 block of Philadelphia Street. Task Force members obtained a warrant and searched the house early this morning and found 22 bricks of suspected heroin/fentanyl, along with items to package and sell the drugs, inside a wall clock that had a false face on it.
In addition to the drugs and paraphernalia, the search discovered $4,000, a shotgun barrel and cell phones that were used to coordinate the drug sales.
Manzi credited members of the Indiana County Drug Task Force in a statement saying the effort brought in approximately 1,100 individual bags of suspected heroin/fentanyl mix, and they are “out of the hands of drug dealers.” He also said that “1,100 possible bad results [were] removed from Indiana County.”
The operation was a coordinated effort by the Indiana County Drug Task Force, Indiana and Clymer Borough Police Departments, and Pennsylvania State Police.
