Homer Dee Caudill, 58, is set to be in Putnam County Circuit Court on Nov. 10 to face charges of Class C felony possession of a handgun without a permit, Class D felony identity deception, Class A misdemeanor possession of marijuana, Class A infraction driving while suspended and operating without insurance and Class C infraction no license in possession.
He is also wanted in Pennsylvania on a warrant for failure to appear on a fraud charge and in Hendricks County on an auto theft warrant.
A release from the Putnamville District of the Indiana State Police said Trooper Chris Harcourt "had received information that Caudill was wanted on a Pennsylvania warrant and has been seen in the area west of Greencastle operating a black 2002 Ford Explorer."
Harcourt and Trooper John Myers spotted Caudill driving the Explorer on Walnut Street shortly after, and initiated a traffic stop. Caudill was arrested without incident, the release said.
During the stop, Caudill was allegedly found to be in possession of another person's identification, a handgun for which he did not have a permit and what was believed to have been marijuana.
Putnam County Sheriff's Department Capt. Joe Myers said Caudill's bond has been set at $20,000 with 10 percent allowed. Should he not be able to bond out, Caudill will stay at the Putnam County Jail until his court date.
Class C felonies are punishable by up to three years in prison. Class D felonies can carry a maximum prison sentence of one year.


Wow! I was recently in the courtroom and saw $10,000 with 10% being given to OWI offenders with way less serious charges. Funny how inconsistent this county is.
Yea the circuit court Judge was real hard on this guy huh....We gotta get this Judge out if we want to see a change (FOR THE BETTER)...This guy gets popped with a gun and drugs and other stuff and get's 20,000 with 10% come on!!!!Our kids read this and think well i can have a gun and stolen car and drugs and be free for 2,000$$$
REAL SMART Mr.Headly!!!!
Small town politics...it's "who you are, who you know"...don't ya know?!!!!
And as for the update on the illegal...well...those comments were "removed" by the Banner Graphic. I'd like to know if the illegal is "safely" back in Mexico yet!!
He gets 20,000 bond on these charges? I get a misdameanor and get a No Bond? Makes a lot of sense.
Good job to all.
ALL these charges and only a 20,000 bond are you kidding?
"During the stop, Caudill was allegedly found to be in possession of another person's identification, a handgun for which he did not have a permit and what was believed to have been marijuana."
Good job, popped him!
Now, anybody have an update on the illegal from Mexico they caught in Bainbridge posessing illegal identification, a handgun with no permit and cocaine? Hmmm, thought not...
Captain Joe Myers! its about time, you deserve it Joe.
