Additional Arrest Following Search Warrant

The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office recently released information regarding a search warrant that was served at the Salisbury Stables on the west side of Richmond. Following that search, Wayne County Deputies worked conjointly with the Wayne County Courts to seek an arrest warrant for Adrienne Turner, age 33 of Richmond. Last night, Wayne County Deputies found the vehicle that Adrienne was associated with in the area of Test Road and Salisbury Road in Richmond. Wayne County Deputies initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle and located Adrienne. Adrienne was arrested on several outstanding warrants, including one from Fayette County Indiana, along with our warrant which were for multiple felonies, including resisting law enforcement, possession of a syringe, possession of a narcotic drug, and possession of methamphetamine. Adrienne was being driven by Chad Sluder, age 27 of Winchester Indiana. Chad, who had a suspended driver's license, was also taken into custody. This is an ongoing investigation, and additional charges or arrests could be made. All arrests and criminal charges are mere accusations. All persons are innocent until and unless proven guilty in a court of law.
