The Marshall County Drug Task Force arrested the Hell’s Angels South Bend Chapter President following the execution of a search warrant in Bourbon.
On Tuesday, May 13, officers with the Marshall County Sheriff's Department Drug Task Force, Indiana State Police, Net 43, Fulton County Sheriff's Department, Bourbon Police Department, and the Drug Enforcement Administration executed a search warrant in the 300-block of South Harris Street in Bourbon. During the execution of the search warrant, officers seized suspected methamphetamine, items indicative of dealing in methamphetamine, and drug paraphernalia.
Arrested during the operation was 46-year-old Norman Tackett, of Bourbon. Tackett is reputed to be the President of the South Bench Chapter of the Hell’s Angels. He is currently being held at the Marshall County Jail on a $50,000 cash bond for dealing in methamphetamine as a level 3 felony, possession of methamphetamine as a level 5 felony, and maintaining a common nuisance as a level 6 felony.
The initial hearing date has yet to be set in Marshall Superior Court.
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.
