Pair Arrested Following Traffic Stop

On 2/08/24, Mt. Carmel Police arrested Andy Anderson, age 39, of Princeton, Indiana for Possession of a Hypodermic Syringe/Needle and Emily C. Hanlon, age 39, of Mt. Carmel for Possession of a Controlled Substance following a traffic stop on a 1993 Green Chevrolet truck in the 1500 block of West 3rd Street.  Ofc. Hopper and his K-9 Eleven responded to the scene and conducted a free air narcotics sniff around the exterior of the vehicle, which resulted in a positive alert.  A subsequent search led to officers locating a hypodermic needle in Anderson’s boot.  Furthermore, officers located (2) Clonazepam pills inside Hanlon’s backpack.  Clonazepam is a Schedule IV narcotic requiring a physician’s prescription, which she admittedly did not possess.  Both were transported to the Wabash County Jail where they were processed and later released on a Notice to Appear.
