Winchester residents charged with dealing meth, fentanyl after police raid

WINCHESTER, Ind. — A police raid this week at a Winchester home has resulted in drug-dealing charges against three local residents.

According to court documents, Winchester police raided a home in the 300 block of West Washington Street on Monday morning. Officers reported finding, in an assortment of locations, a total of 12.65 grams of meth and 5.4 grams of fentanyl.

A woman listed as an occupant of the house, 23-year-old Shayla Harvey, and two other men with nearby addresses — Brock Robert Harvey, 49, and Donovan James Ford, 24 — were arrested.

They have since been charged in Randolph Circuit Court with four charges stemming from the raid: dealing in meth, dealing in a narcotic drug, possession of meth and possession of a narcotic drug.

The meth-dealing charges are Level 2 felonies with maximum 30-year sentences. The other counts filed against the trio include Level 3 felonies, carrying up to 16 years in prison, and Level 4 felonies, with maximum 12-year sentences.
