A New Albany man and a Clarksville woman are in the Michael L. Becher Corrections Complex after an investigation at about 8:50 p.m. Wednesday by the New Albany Police Department’s FLEX unit and the Indiana State Police Meth Lab Team.
The investigation, which began in New Albany, ended at the Clarksville home of Hope C. Densford, 41, of the 100 block of Starlight Drive, according to a press release from NAPD Capt. Keith Whitlow. Also taken into custody at the home was Robert A. Demeter, 41, who gave his address as city-at-large, New Albany.
Densford is preliminarily charged with the sale of cocaine/narcotics, a class
B felony; possession of methamphetamine, a class D felony; possession of a controlled substance, a class D felony and maintaining a common nuisance, a class D felony; and possession of marijuana, a class A misdemeanor.
Demeter faces preliminary charges on the sale of cocaine/narcotics, a class B felony, possession of marijuana, a class A misdemeanor, and resisting law enforcement, a class A misdemeanor. The resisting law enforcement charges resulted from an unsuccessful attempt by Demeter for allegedly trying to flee on foot from police officers at the scene of the arrests. He was chased down and caught by officers several blocks from the Starlight Drive address.
Investigating officers recovered methamphetamine, Alprazolam, Promethazine, marijuana, and other drug related paraphernalia at the Clarksville home.
Man arrested trying to sell stolen property
An 18-year-old New Albany man was arrested Wednesday by New Albany police officers in a parking lot at Vincennes and East Elm streets after he tried to sell property belonging to a man whose home in the 200 block of Clay Street was burglarized on Nov. 9, according to a NAPD release. During the reported home burglary the man reported numerous items, including electronics, were taken.
The burglary victim called police at about 11:15 p.m., and said they could find Jonathan Lee Caudill, of the 1800 block of Conservative Street, at the car wash located at Vincennes and East Elm streets, and that property taken in the Nov. 9 burglary was reportedly in the car being driven by Caudill. The man said that Caudill had offered to sell back to him property that was taken in the burglary.
When officers arrived at the car wash and investigated they found electronic items, including games, game controllers, and a computer among other items reported stolen in the burglary. The property was found inside a car being driven by Caudill. Other property belonging to the burglary victim was later recovered by police officers in Caudill’s Conservative Street home.
Caudill told police that the burglary victim “owed him money” in connection with damage done to a car several months ago.
Caudill was arrested on a preliminary charge of theft/receiving stolen property, a class D felony, and was taken to the Floyd County Jail.
