At approximately 3:33 p.m. Thursday, a Deputy with the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office observed a traffic infraction on a vehicle traveling northbound on Interstate 65. K9 Gunny was deployed and alerted on the vehicle. A search of the vehicle led to the discovery of over $34,000 in cash, two guns and a large quantity of Marijuana. The vehicle was occupied by two adult males and a juvenile female. Troopers with the Indiana State Police assisted on scene.
Arrested was 25-year-old Clement D. Ervin III of Indianapolis.
“Once again, I am so very proud of our deputies for their hard work and initiative in taking guns and narcotics off our roadways,” said Clinton County Sheriff Rich Kelly. “K9 Gunny earned some extra treats today! This is another example of the great service our deputies provide to this community.”
Formal charges are pending from the Clinton County Prosecutor’s Office.
