Over pound of fentanyl, cocaine mixture found during search of Evansville apartment
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Authorities say they recovered over a pound of fentanyl and cocaine following a search warrant at an Evansville apartment.
According to an affidavit, investigators with the Evansville-Vanderburgh County Drug Task Force and the DEA Evansville Office received information in the fall of 2024 that Robert Dismuke was obtaining pounds of methamphetamine from a source outside of Evansville. Authorities say Dismuke had a woman drive him to Indianapolis from Evansville on January 29 to transport a large amount of narcotics.
During a traffic stop, Indiana State Police say a K-9 alerted to the presence of a controlled substance inside the vehicle. Authorities say Dismuke was arrested and approximately three pounds of methamphetamine and approximately two ounces of fentanyl were discovered under the hood of the vehicle.
Detectives executed a search warrant at an apartment in the 200 block of West Florida Street in Evansville where Dismuke said he has been staying. During a search of the apartment, law enforcement said they uncovered illegal contraband, most of which was found inside of a bathroom attached only to a bedroom where Israel Mays was staying.
The following items were reportedly found in the apartment:
A folded up dollar bill containing 1 gram of cocaine
1.3 grams of MDMA pills
One 20mg Oxycodone Hydrochloride pill, identified as a Schedule II substance.
Fifteen round pink pills identified as Oxycodone Hydrochloride
1.3 grams of MDMA pills
A clear plastic bag containing 29 grams of blue round pills that field tested positive for fentnanyl
A clear plastic bag containing 4.5 grams of a green leafy substance that field tested positive for THC
Unlabeled pill bottles containing capsules identified as Gabapentin
A gallon size bag containing a 'cutting agent'
Four containers containing a substance containing a 'cutting agent'
Several small bags containing powder like substances that field tested positive for a mixture of cocaine and fentanyl with a field weight of 542 grams
A black digital scale with white powder residue
Twenty bottles of Promethazene, totaling over 11,000 grams of liquid, identified as a Schedule II substance
Authorities say Mays was arrested and taken into custody as he was climbing out of his bedroom window on Friday. He was charged with dealing a Schedule II drug, dealing cocaine or a narcotic drug, possession of cocaine and two counts of possession of a Schedule II drug.

25th annual teen police academy gives high schoolers hands-on look at law enforcement careers
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – Area high school students interested in pursuing careers in law enforcement got an up-close look at the profession during the 25th annual multi-jurisdictional teen police academy. The program provides students the opportunity to engage with local law enforcement agencies and learn about various roles beyond the traditional patrol officer. Children's Museum of Green Bay promotes healthy choices through new 'Taste of Summer' event 'Definitely more to it than just a cop on a street or a cop on TV,' said Stella Starry, a second-year attendee and student at Notre Dame Academy. 'I've learned about the different options that you have. It's not just a patrol officer that you see on TV—it's more that you can do, and it's so many behind-the-scenes work that happens too.' On Wednesday, students were introduced to the Green Bay Police Department's K-9 unit. Police dog Nox joined them in the classroom, where students observed how K-9s are trained and how they assist officers on calls. The academy is open to high school students in the area and is designed to help them determine whether law enforcement might be the right career path. Kemps partners with Midwest food banks, donates nearly 800,000 milk cartons including 30,000 in Wisconsin 'They really get a behind-the-scenes feel of what it is like to become a police officer,' said Green Bay Police Communications Coordinator Jennifer Gonzalez. 'It is a perfect program for kids in high school who are just thinking about what to do after high school, what to do in college.' Students will conclude their weeklong experience at the Brown County Sheriff's Office, touring the facility and learning about officers' daily responsibilities. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
