Randall Sexton Jr,Robert Hester,Dani Gill
Randall Sexton Jr., 21, Robert Hester, 45, 1625 King St,Dani Gill, 20, 722 Congress St. A trial date is to be set for each.
Sexton is charged with dealing in a narcotic substance, conspiring to deal in a narcotic substance and aiding in dealing in a narcotic substance, all Class A felonies in Indiana.
Hester is charged with dealing and conspiring to deal in a narcotic substance. Gill is charged with aiding and conspiring to deal in a narcotic substance, plus perjury and false reporting.
The arrests took place Wednesday night shortly after the suspect car entered the city. The prosecutor was granted the weekend to finalize charges on the three - thus the delay in their initial court appearance.
Wabash police provided this account:
An anonymous tip to the Wabash City Police Drug Task Force indicated a particular car was to be returning from Chicago with heroin Wednesday night.
Officers from several departments set up surveillance at points on the perimeter of the city. A vehicle that fit the description was sited, followed, then stopped on a minor traffic matter. A K-9 made a hit on both sides of the vehicle, which was allegedly driven by Sexton, with Hester as passenger.
Officers allege it was Gill's car, and though he was not in the vehicle when stopped, he knew for what purpose it was being used and was intended to share in the proceeds.
