Details/Summary:
On Thursday, 06 November 2025, uniformed detectives from the Fort Wayne Police Narcotics Division made a traffic stop on a black 2019 Chevy Silverado with Florida plates, for speeding. During the course of the traffic stop a Fort Wayne Police K-9 team did an open-air sniff for the presence of narcotics and gave a positive alert. When the driver was asked to get out of the truck a Springfield Armory .45 caliber handgun was seen in plain view. Detectives observed a large dog cage with a dog in the bed of the truck. A closer inspection of the cage revealed an after-market, manufactured hide (compartment) on the underside of the cage. When the access panel was removed detectives found approximately 30 individually packaged kilos of cocaine with a street value of $600,000 to $800,000.
All criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
All information is preliminary and subject to change during the course of the investigation.
Investigators are asking anyone with information about the shooting to contact the Fort Wayne Police Department at 427-1201, Crime Stoppers at 436-7867, or use the free “P3 Tips” app.
