(Dillsboro, Ind.) - A Madison woman was arrested in Dillsboro last month on multiple drug related charges. 

On July 25, a Dearborn County Sheriff’s Deputy was dispatched to the Dollar General Store to check on an individual sleeping in their vehicle in the parking lot. 

Mary Ann Bennett, 50, of Madison was found with a large amount of Methamphetamine, a gun, digital scales, baggies, other drug paraphernalia, and over $1,000.00 in cash, according to Prosecutor Lynn Deddens.

Over 60 grams of Methamphetamine and other materials necessary to distribute the drug was collected in a subsequent investigation.

“She had baggies, scales, individual packages of Methamphetamine, and cash, all strong indicators of dealing,” Deddens said. “The Sheriff’s Office did a great job getting this Methamphetamine off the streets.”

Bennett is charged with Possession with Intent to Deliver Methamphetamine (Level 2 Felony), Possession of Methamphetamine (Level 3 Felony), Possession of a Narcotic Drug (Level 6 Felony), Carrying a Handgun Without a License (Class A Misdemeanor), and Possession of Paraphernalia (Class C Misdemeanor).

These charges are pending in Dearborn Circuit Court.

Deddens says this arrest is the latest in a series of recent cases involving large amounts of Methamphetamine.

“We’ve had a string of arrests involving large quantities of Methamphetamine. This is just the most recent. Clearly, criminals are seeking to traffic Methamphetamine in our area,” Deddens said. “The police are doing a great job with their interdiction efforts. My office is committed to aggressively prosecuting these cases and putting people who deal drugs in our community in prison.”
