 Chad R. McGhee |
A warrant was issued Monday in Greene Superior Court for Chad R. McGhee, of 8685 E. Pleasant Maple Street, Carlisle.
McGhee is charged with dealing in methamphetamine, a class B felony; and possession of chemical reagents or precursors with intent to manufacture, a class D felony.
McGhee is described as a white male, 6-0 feet tall and weighing 175 pounds. He has green eyes and brown hair with a beard and mustache.
The warrant for McGhee follows the arrest Friday of 36-year-old Kevin W. Moore, of Linton.
Moore was arrested on suspicion of aiding in the manufacture of methamphetamine and possession of precursors with the intent to manufacture methamphetamine.
Equipment commonly used in a meth lab along with other items of evidence were found when Linton police made a routine traffic stop Friday afternoon.
A car was pulled over when it failed to stop at a stop sign. Then as police were requesting identification cards, registration and proof of insurance, they said they could smell a faint chemical odor coming from the vehicle.
The car was impounded and after the trunk was opened, officers called the Indiana State Police Clandestine Lab Team.
During the traffic stop, the driver, McGhee, was cited for failure to stop at the stop sign and was told the car would be impounded. McGhee and a passenger, Moore, then walked away.
After the trunk was searched, police went looking for the two men. They found Moore walking, placed him in custody and transported him to the Greene County Jail.
Police were unable to locate McGhee.
"We got Kevin Moore, but shortly after we started looking for McGhee and he had taken off on us," said Linton Police Chief Troy Jerrell. "Crimestoppers, I am sure would offer a reward for anyone who has information on his whereabouts that would lead to his arrest," Jerrell added.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Linton City Police Department at 847-4411 or call Greene County Crimestoppers at (812) 847-5463.

Walked away???? Hmmmm.....
Why would he be allowed to "walk away" I am sure there is more to the story.
The answer to your question is in the story. The men were allowed to leave after being cited and told the vehicle was going to be impounded. Keeping them there would probably be unconstitutional.
But the officer said there was a faint smell coming from the car, that gives them probable cause to search the vehicle, and why was the vehicle being impounded if all they did was fail to stop at a stop sign? Since when do they impound your car for such a minor offense??
Well,well, could it be we were getting our car washed, and eating supper????????
