GREENE COUNTY, Ind – Two people have been arrested on drug charges after Indiana State Police concluded a lengthy investigation.

The Indiana State Police Drug Enforcement Section and the Indiana State Police Bloomington District ACES had information that 40 year old Brandy Shifflett, of Bedford, was possibly involved in dealing methamphetamine. Shifflett was also known to be wanted on two active arrest warrants – one from Lawrence County and one from Owen County.

Police obtained a search warrant for a home in the 5800 block of Taylor Ridge Road in Greene County.

Friday afternoon police found the homeowner, 52 year old Garry Chaney, of Bloomfield near the edge of the yard. Upon entry into the residence, Troopers located Shifflett and took her into custody.

During the search, troopers located methamphetamine near the area where they first encountered Chaney after he had throwing it into nearby weeds. They also located what was believed to be an illegally taken whitetail deer.

The Indiana Conservation Officers were notified of the deer.

Chaney was arrested and incarcerated in the Greene County Jail for the offenses of Possession of Methamphetamine (Level 6 Felony) and Obstruction of Justice (Level 6 Felony).

Shifflett (photo not available) was arrested on the two warrants and transported to the Lawrence County Jail.

Once there, jail staff located methamphetamine and marijuana that Shifflett had concealed in a body cavity. Shifflett was then charged with Possession of Methamphetamine (Level 6 Felony) and Possession of Marijuana (Class B Misdemeanor), in addition to the warrants.
