Scott County, IN – Two Scottsburg residents were arrested Friday after a multi-month investigation into alleged drug trafficking in southern Scott County, authorities announced.
According to the Scott County Sheriff’s Office, 55-year-old Dennis Allman and 47-year-old Shannon Parnell were taken into custody without incident after investigators executed arrest warrants issued by the Scott County Circuit Court. The arrests followed a coordinated investigation involving the Scott County Probation Department, Indiana State Police, FBI, and Scott County Prosecutor’s Office.
Both suspects were charged with multiple drug-related offenses, including dealing methamphetamine (at least 10 grams), possession of methamphetamine (at least 28 grams), possession of a controlled substance, and possession of marijuana or hash oil.
Deputies reportedly seized about 237 grams of suspected methamphetamine, multiple firearms, and approximately $5,000 in cash during the operation.
Sheriff Jerry Goodin emphasized the county’s zero-tolerance stance on drug trafficking, saying, “Some people must be slow learners, as the rules in Scott County have not changed: either quit dealing drugs, move out of Scott County, or go to jail.”
Authorities say the investigation remains ongoing.
