Officials in Fishers say they are sending a message to the criminal element in the Indianapolis area – if you come here, you will be arrested.  Both Police Chief George Kehl and Mayor Scott Fadness made that clear in a news conference announcing the arrest of a man and woman on several drug related charges.

Dejuan Ray Wells, 28, of Indianapolis, and Bria Nicole Davis, 21, also of Indianapolis, both face a number of mostly drug-related charges.  Police say they found about 100 pounds of marijuana, roughly $330,000 in  cash, along with other narcotics and prescription drugs.  The cash and drugs were found in a storage unit on the northeast side of Indianapolis.

Police say it all started with a police vehicle stop along 96th Street near I-69 on July 16th.  Both suspects were arrested after police say they found drugs and cash in the vehicle.  Authorities then went to the couple’s hotel room near 96th Street and found information leading police to the storage unit, which contained the large stash of drugs and cash.

Fishers Police spokesman Tom Weger said this was the biggest drug case ever for Fishers.
