BAINBRIDGE -- After an ambulance responded to an emergency call at 117 W. Main St. in Bainbridge on Wednesday night, police searched the premises and allegedly found paraphernalia related to a Schedule I.
One suspect, Dillon Paul Brown, 20, Bainbridge, was taken to a hospital and has yet to be charged.
Three others, David Wayne Brown III, Miranda Jo McNew and Chelseii Eden Reynolds, were taken into custody.
Brown III, 25, Danville, and Reynolds, 23, Danville, have been charged with common nuisance, possession of a controlled substance and dealing a Schedule I drug.
The Banner Graphic has learned that drug is heroin.
McNew, 23, Greencastle, has been charged with common nuisance, possession of paraphernalia and probation violation.
Dillon Brown was released from Putnam County Jail earlier on Wednesday, where he had most recently been held on charges for conspiracy to commit trafficking.
Because Dillon Brown was on probation and house arrest, police were able to search his residence.
Bainbridge marshal Rodney Fenwick said recently that heroin is a growing concern in the area.
"There's heroin use everywhere, you just don't hear about it as much until you get an overdose or a fatality," Fenwick said. "It's kind of a sign of the times."
