Three people were arrested for dealing marijuana following a joint investigation led by the Indiana State Police Drug Enforcement Section on Monday night. 

The Illinois State Police contacted troopers with the Indiana State Police Drug Enforcement Section with information that a load of marijuana was to be exchanged in a parking lot in Plymouth, Indiana. 

Surveillance was set up that resulted in the arrest of Richard McCalvin, age 42, of Argos, IN, John McCalvin, age 65, of Tallahassee, FL, and Karen Sulay, age 61, of California.  All were charged with Level 5 Felony Dealing Marijuana and taken to the Marshall County Jail. 

Seized were nearly 20 pounds of high-grade marijuana with a street value of approximately $45,000, 8 pounds of marijuana butter worth approximately $25,000, 50 marijuana laced cookies with a value of around $5,000, as well as $30,000 cash. 

The Indiana State Police Drug Enforcement Section was assisted by the Illinois State Police, DEA, and Marshall County Sheriff’s Department. 

A Gibson County Deputy Sheriff is in jail this after being arrested earlier this week on multiple child seduction charges.

Arrested and Charged was Daniel Greer, 29, Princeton, IN
– Child Seduction (x2), Level 5 Felony
– Obstruction of Justice, Level 6 Felony

Earlier in 2017, the Gibson County Sheriff’s Department received a complaint against Deputy Greer.   

The information alleged that Greer had sexual relations with two male juveniles. 

The Sheriff’s Department requested the case be investigated by the Indiana State Police.  ISP detectives began their investigation in early June.

Through the investigation, detectives learned that between January and March 2017, Greer is alleged to have had sexual relations with the two juveniles while off-duty, on two separate occasions.

Greer was a school resource officer for the Sheriff’s Department; however, the incidents did not occur on school property.

Greer was arrested at the Gibson County Jail at 1:30 P.M. CDT without incident.  He was transported to the Knox County Jail where he is being held without bond.

Investigating Officers: Detective Craig Starr, Sergeant Troy Stanton and Sergeant Brad Chandler.

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) has issued an Air Quality Action Day and is forecasting high ozone levels for Wednesday July 26, 2017 in the following area: 

• Southeast Indiana – Clark, Floyd, Harrison, Jackson, Jefferson, Scott, and Washington

IDEM encourages everyone to help reduce ozone by making simple changes to their daily habits. You can:

• Walk, bike, carpool or use public transportation
• Avoid using the drive-through and combine errands into one trip
• Avoid refueling your vehicle or using gasoline-powered lawn equipment until after 7 p.m.
• Turn off your engine when idling for more than 30 seconds
• Conserve energy by turning off lights or setting the air conditioner to 75 degrees or above 

Anyone sensitive to changes in air quality may be affected when ozone levels are high. Children, the elderly and anyone with heart or lung conditions should reduce or avoid exertion and heavy work outdoors. 

IDEM examines weather patterns and current ozone readings to make daily air quality forecasts. To learn more about ozone or sign up for air quality forecasts, visit www.SmogWatch.IN.gov or download our iPhone App:

Ground-level ozone is formed when sunlight and hot weather bake vehicle exhaust, factory emissions and gasoline vapors. Ozone in the upper atmosphere blocks ultraviolet radiation, but ozone near the ground is a lung irritant that can cause coughing and breathing difficulties. 

About the ozone standard: On October 1, 2015, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) finalized the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ground-level ozone. The new rule sets more stringent standards, lowering both the primary (health-based) and secondary (welfare-based) standards from 75 parts per billion (ppb) to 70 ppb. IDEM encourages all Hoosiers to be proactive and help reduce ozone for those who may be sensitive.
