PERU – A traffic stop at 9:50 p.m. Sunday in Peru resulted in the arrest of two men who were wanted on warrants.
Indiana State Police Trooper Andrew Baldwin was on routine patrol when he observed a 1994 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck make an unsafe lane movement on U.S. 31 near Miami CR 200N, according to a news release from ISP.
Baldwin stopped the Chevy, which was driven by Dennis Schroder, 58, of Star City. Gary Gagnon, 46, of Akron, was a passenger in the vehicle. Both men had warrants out for their arrest, according to ISP.
Schroder was wanted in Pulaski County for possession of methamphetamine and paraphernalia charges, and Gagnon was wanted in Fulton County for delinquent child support and disorderly conduct.
Further investigation led to a search of the pickup, where officers allegedly found methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
Gagnon and Schroder were both incarcerated in the Miami County Jail. Schroder faces new charges for possession of methamphetamine and possession of paraphernalia, and Gagnon picked up a new charge for possession of paraphernalia.
Eric Day, 52, of Warsaw, was a third occupant of the truck and was issued a summons to appear in court for possession of paraphernalia.
