According to Sullivan County Sheriff Clark Cottom, a search warrant was ultimately obtained for the unwanted guest's (Berg's) residence on N. Main Street in Sullivan.

The search yielded:

• 315 grams of methamphetamine
• 56 grams of marijuana
• 58 grams of synthetic cannabis
• Numerous prescription pills
• $19,650 cash 
• Four handguns 

Patrolman Mitchell Eberhardt, Sheriff’s Lt. Bill Snead and Indiana Conservation Officer Dustin Cary were dispatched to  N. State Street residence in Sullivan  last Wednesday, around 12:45 p.m.

Berg reportedly had left the residence prior to the officers' arrival.
 
When officers went to speak with Berg at his N. Main Street residence, regarding not being allowed back at the other residence, they allegedly noticed a strong odor of marijuana emitting from where they were standing at the front door, Sheriff Clark Cottom explained.

Goble was inside the home with Berg at the time.  The suspects were reportedly consenting to a search of the residence, when Berg suddenly fled from the scene on foot.

Cottom said he was located hiding in a shed, just a few blocks west of his residence, a short time later.


Officers from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the Vigo County Drug Task Force, and the United States Drug Enforcement Administration assisted Sullivan City and County Police with the investigation.
