BEDFORD – A Bedford man was arrested Wednesday morning after allegedly violating a protective order by appearing at his ex-wife’s residence, and subsequently found to have various illegal substances.
According to an affidavit for probable cause filed by Bedford Police Department Officer Derek Blackwell, Edwin Daniel Kamron Jadan Busch, 26, faces preliminary charges of invasion of privacy, possession of methamphetamine, possession of a legend drug, and possession of marijuana.
On July 2, 2025, at 8:39 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 1000 block of R Street after a woman reported that her ex-husband, Edwin Busch, against whom she held a protective order, was knocking on her door. Dispatch advised officers that Busch was reportedly leaving the residence and walking towards 16th Street. Officer Blackwell located Busch at the intersection of R and 14th Streets.
Busch told Officer Blackwell that he was knocking on the door to see his child and was aware of the protective order, believing it was served on June 25, 2025. He stated he had sent text messages to his ex on July 1 and July 2, 2025, asking to see the child, but received no response. Busch acknowledged his visitation for Tuesdays did not begin until 2:00 p.m.
The woman informed Sergeant Gerkin that the protective order required Jadan to provide a 24-hour advance notice for visitation arrangements, which she had not received.
Officers confirmed the protective order was valid and had been served on June 26, 2025. Busch was placed under arrest. During a search incident to arrest, a pill identified as Methocarbamol (a legend drug) was found in his front right pocket. A subsequent search of his backpack revealed 17 more of the same pills, a clear bag containing crystal methamphetamine, and a clear bag of marijuana.
Busch was transported to the Bedford Police Department for processing and later lodged at the Lawrence County Jail.
A Probable Cause Affidavit outlines the initial findings and allegations that led to an arrest. Criminal charges are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
