SPENCER CO. — An Owensboro man has been arrested following a lengthy drug investigation involving a gas station in Rockport, Indiana.
For the past 10 months, the Indiana State Police, in collaboration with the Spencer County Sheriff’s Office, have been investigating the Rebels Marathon gas station. The investigation culminated in the issuance of a warrant for Siddharth Aniker, who faces charges of Dealing in a Schedule I Controlled Substance.
On Friday, law enforcement officials obtained additional evidence indicating ongoing illegal drug activity at the gas station. Executing the search warrant, police discovered a significant quantity of Schedule I Controlled Substances inside and outside the business.
Aniker was taken into custody with his outstanding warrant, currently being held at the Spencer County Jail, where he awaits further legal proceedings. Authorities have not disclosed the specific types or quantities of drugs found during the search.
The investigation highlights ongoing concerns about drug activity in the area, and local officials are urging the community to remain vigilant and report any suspicious behavior.
Those facing criminal charges are considered innocent unless convicted through due legal proceedings. Accusations alone do not imply guilt; the judicial system will evaluate the presented evidence to reach a verdict.
