Former Martin County Sheriff's Deputy Arrested For Dealing Drugs

Last updated on Monday, March 5, 2018

(SHOALS) - Indiana State Police arrested a former Martin County Sheriff’s deputy for dealing drugs.

Over the weekend, Indiana State Troopers Andrew Beaver and Ross Johnson arrested 33-year-old Danny R Salmon of Shoals for an outstanding Martin County arrest warrant for dealing a Schedule II and IV controlled substance.

Late last year, Martin County Sheriff Travis Roush contacted the Indiana State Police Jasper Post and requested a special investigation after he had received information that Salmon was possibly involved in illegal drug activity.

During the investigation, Sergeant Greg Ashby determined that Salmon had dealt hydrocodone and tramadol on multiple occasions during the fall of 2017.

After the Martin County Prosecutor's Office reviewed the case, an arrest warrant for Salmon was issued for the following charges:

Dealing in a Schedule II Controlled Substance, 1 Count, IC 35-48-4-2, Level 6 Felony
Dealing in a Schedule IV Controlled Substance, 1 Count, IC 35-48-4-3, Class A Misdemeanor

Salmon bonded himself out of the Martin County Jail with $2,500 cash.
