Kensee Hollow man arrested for selling Oxycodone

Whitley County Sheriff Colan Harrell takes Andrew Muse into custody early Wednesday morning. Muse was arrested on an outstanding warrant for drug trafficking.

Sheriff’s deputies took to the back roads of Whitley County early Wednesday morning in an attempt to round-up three suspected drug dealers.

Sheriff Colan Harrell, Chief Deputy K.Y. Fuson and Detective Tim Baker hit the roads shortly before 8 a.m. in route to Kensee Hollow.

Baker served Andrew C. Muse, 37, of 290 Kensee Hollow, with an arrest warrant charging him with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance.

Baker said that deputies have been investigating Muse for Oxycodone trafficking since late fall.

Deputies then headed to Leonard Petrey Road, which is in the Canadatown area, in search of two additional suspects but came up empty-handed.

A homeowner told police that the men were at work but would contact authorities later that evening to arrange to turn themselves in to police.

Harrell said that additional drug round-ups are planned.
