Police Arrest Three in Wabash Heroin Case

Police say they seized 156 bags of heroin from a vehicle in Wabash late last night. Officers from the Wabash Police Department and the Wabash County Sheriff’s Department stopped the vehicle in downtown Wabash just after midnight to execute a search warrant. At the same time, other officers began searching the Wabash apartment of the vehicle’s owners. Police say they found various narcotics in pill form in the apartment, as well as drug paraphernalia. Police arrested three people. An 18-year-old and a 24-year-old Wabash man who were in the vehicle both face charges including possession of three or more grams of a narcotic drug with intent to deliver. That’s a class “A” felony, punishable by up to 50 years in prison. A 24-year-old woman who lives in the apartment faces charges including possession of a narcotic drug. That’s a class “D” felony punishable by up to three years. Wabash police say this is their sixth case involving heroin this month.
