Indiana Central News VERMILLION COUNTY -- A Terre Haute man was arrested on drug-related charges after Vermillion County deputies say he was driving impaired late Friday night. Jeremy J. East, 34, was booked into the Vermillion County Jail and charged with possession of controlled substance - a Level 6 felony, firearms enhancement; OVWI controlled substance- an A misdemeanor; and possession of marijuana- an A misdemeanor. According to the Vermillion County Sheriff's Office, East was showing signs of impairment, traveling at low rate of speed and making unsafe lane movements. Officers ultimately found a small amount of marijuana on the suspect and a subsequent K-9 sniff of the vehicle helped deputies locate morphine pills and a loaded firearm. Deputies were working the ICJI Operation Pullover Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Blitz when they pulled over the northbound 2002 Ford pickup truck on S.R. 63 near CR 975 S around 11:20 p.m. The suspect reportedly failed field sobriety tests and a chemical test for controlled substances. East has since been released on bond from the jail. Deputies Nick Hall, Troy Vaughn and Reserve Deputy Larry Davis assisted Deputy Chad Hennis at the scene. Comments are closed.
