ISP investigations lead to multiple arrests

ST. JOSEPH CO. – Friday morning an investigation that began months ago with a complaint of drug dealing and a suspected overdose concluded with a search warrant and multiple arrests.

At approximately 5:30 a.m. on June 23, 2023, Indiana State Troopers with the ISP Bremen Post All Crimes Policing Team (ACP) served a search warrant at a residence in the 100 block of North Michigan Street in Lakeville, IN.  This warrant resulted in troopers discovering suspected fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, psilocybin mushrooms, a handgun, pills that remain to be identified, and numerous items of drug paraphernalia.

While troopers were serving this warrant a black Pontiac arrived, parking next to the police cars.  The driver, identified as Skylar Dunlap, 28 of Lakeville, entered the yard of the residence and was ultimately arrested for possession of methamphetamine, possession of a narcotic, possession of marijuana, and possession of paraphernalia. Dunlap was taken to the St. Joseph County Jail.

Arrested inside the residence was Korbin Parrott, 21 of Lakeville, for dealing a narcotic, possession of marijuana, possession of a controlled substance, possession of a legend drug, possession of cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and maintaining a common nuisance. Parrott was taken to the St. Joseph County Jail.
