Vigo County, IN – The Vigo County Sheriff’s Office announced several arrests Monday night following a joint operation with WTWO and Crime Stoppers aimed at locating wanted individuals across the county.

Those arrested included Joshua McKenzie, 34; Nicholas Reynolds, 45; Rick Bradbury, 60; Rickey Kennedy, 49; Alon Peraza, 40; Ricky Higgins, 38; Rickey Hamilton, 55; and Courtney Loudermilk, 25.
Four additional suspects remain wanted as of Tuesday morning. They include Billy Seeley (domestic battery), Dwayne Carroll (possession of methamphetamine), Keegan Tetdrick (dealing methamphetamine), and Christian Kline (dealing a controlled substance).
Sheriff Fell thanked local residents for their quick response, noting that tips from the community played a crucial role in the operation’s success. “We cannot thank our community members enough for taking the initiative to call in and provide a tip to help keep our community a safer place,” Fell said.
Anyone with information on the outstanding suspects is urged to contact Vigo County Crime Stoppers at 812-238-STOP. Tipsters may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000 if their information leads to an arrest.
