On Wednesday, January 8, Officers with the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department Drug Task Force, assisted by the Fulton County Sheriff’s Department, located and arrested 46-year-old Nathan Vanderaa of Plymouth, near the intersection of Walnut and Madison Streets in Plymouth. Vanderaa was the target of an investigation by the Marshall County Drug Task Force that resulted in the issuance of a warrant for his arrest on a charge of dealing in methamphetamine as a level 4 felony. He is currently being held on a $250,000 cash bond.
The allegations contained in the probable cause affidavit supporting the issuance of the arrest warrant executed on Wednesday are alleged to have occurred while Vanderaa was free on a $50,000 cash bond he previously posted on a pending charge of dealing in methamphetamine filed in June, 2024 in Marshall Superior Court 1.
It has been previously reported Vanderaa had a short stint as an Indiana State Police officer.
Lead Detective, Det. Sgt. Jonathan Bryant, commends the cooperative efforts of all law enforcement agencies involved.
Prosecuting Attorney Nelson Chipman added, “I am grateful for the work of the Marshall County Drug Task Force, Det. Sgt. Bryant, and the collaborative efforts of the officers from the Fulton County Sheriff’s Department that safely conducted this operation resulting in the arrest.”
Readers are reminded that charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is merely an allegation that a crime has been committed. The person charged is presumed innocent throughout the proceedings and is entitled to be represented by counsel and entitled to a trial by jury at which the State is obligated to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt before a judgment of guilt may be made.
