PIERCETON -ÊA Pierceton man was arrested Monday for allegedly dealing cocaine.
David Dewayne Tran, 35, of 8280 E. U.S. 30, Lot 115, Pierceton, was arrested around 7:57 p.m. Monday on two counts of dealing cocaine more than three grams, a Class A felony. He is being held at the Kosciusko County Jail on a $40,000 bond.
The Kosciusko County Drug Task Force received a number of complaints from citizens about a person dealing cocaine in both Warsaw and Pierceton. After investigating the complaints for about six months, undercover purchases reportedly were made from Tran.
Evidence gathered during the investigation indicates Tran allegedly is a large supplier of cocaine in the Kosciusko County area.
The arrest is the result of a combined effort between citizens and the Kosciusko County Drug Task Force.
The Kosciusko County Drug Task Force was assisted in the investigation by the Warsaw Police Department, Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department, Pierceton Police Department and the Kosciusko County Prosecutor's Office.
