While inside the cabin in Loogootee, which was identified Harmon's home, deputies allegedly observed drug paraphernalia in plain sight, according to a Probable Cause Affidavit (PCA).
After a search warrant was granted for Harmon's residence, the PCA said several drug-related items, drug paraphernalia, a small pouch with smoking devices and a large amount of a crystal-like substance were allegedly found inside.
'Through my training and experience as a law enforcement officer as well as several methamphetamine-related arrests, (the crystal-like substance) appeared to be methamphetamine,' said Breighton Tolliver of DCSO.
A separate search warrant was then granted for dealing with methamphetamine-related items, and inside officers allegedly found several scales with a crystal-like residue on them, $6,000 in all $100 bills located in a large beverage jug, and 83.44 grams of methamphetamine, according to the PCA.

As Roman Storm mounts his defence, a judge bars ‘self-serving' evidence
Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm began his defence in earnest Monday, though a federal judge ruled he could not present 'self-serving' evidence at his criminal trial that includes private messages in which the software developer lamented cybercriminals' use of the protocol. That evidence would show Storm did not intend for Tornado Cash to serve as a money laundering tool for cybercriminals, defence attorneys wrote in a letter to Judge Katherine Polk Failla on Sunday. Failla disagreed. Most of the messages did not offer any insight into Storm's state of mind when he created and contributed to the Tornado Cash protocol, she said Monday. Prosecutors have charged Storm with conspiracy to commit money laundering, operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business, and violate US sanctions. He faces more than 40 years in prison. 'Spitballing' In order to prove the money laundering charge, prosecutors must show that Storm built and ran Tornado Cash for cybercriminals. On Thursday, a prosecutor called money launderers Storm's 'primary target market.' One government exhibit shows Storm wearing a t-shirt featuring a washing machine and the Tornado Cash logo. But Storm has said that he built Tornado Cash for people seeking privacy on the blockchain and that he was powerless to prevent cybercriminals from using the protocol to launder stolen crypto. In June 2022, crypto forensics firm Elliptic traced to North Korean hackers almost $100 million in assets that were stolen from the Harmony blockchain and laundered through Tornado Cash. 'I'm glad those fuckers are detected,' Storm said in a group chat featuring the Tornado Cash co-founders and executives at Dragonfly Capital. Failla said Storm could show the message to jurors. But she denied his request to share other messages. In a July 2020 exchange with Dragonfly executive Haseeb Qureshi, Storm said that guidance from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network led him to believe Tornado Cash was a legal business. 'I agree, which is why we want to invest. We are convinced what you guys are doing is legal,' Qureshi replied. Failla said the exchange was not indicative of Storm's state of mind when he committed his alleged crimes. In an October 2020 group chat with co-founders Roman Semenov and Alexey Pertsev, Storm fumed that 'we are getting shit on as if we are criminals of some sort.' Semenov suggested they attract more 'regular users.' 'Now all sorts of terrorists also use cash but no one calls the dollar a scam because of that,' Semenov wrote. 'I understand all that, Roma… I am just concerned,' Storm replied. 'It's unfortunate that people don't understand what we want to do.' Failla called the exchange a mere 'gripe session' on Monday. Compliance As the trial entered its third and final week, Storm's defence began in earnest by calling as a witness cryptography expert Matt Edman. Edman testified there was little that Storm could have done to limit money laundering on Tornado Cash, rebutting claims from a government witness who said that Storm had declined to make simple changes that could have deterred cybercriminals. While Storm and his co-founders repeatedly added anti-money laundering features to Tornado Cash — features that were uncommon among other crypto projects — they were easily circumvented, according to Edman. But it wasn't for lack of effort, Edman suggested. Rather, those tools were ineffective because earlier versions of the Tornado Cash website and other components of the protocol are stored on the InterPlanetary File System, or IPFS — a decentralised data storage system. 'So through this system you really can't make old content go away?' defence attorney Keri Axel asked Edman. 'No,' he replied. In at least one case, a hacker appeared to circumvent an anti-money laundering tool by using an older version of Tornado Cash's so-called router, Edman said. One such tool blocked sanctioned crypto wallets from accessing the protocol through the Tornado Cash website. The Tornado Cash founders installed that tool in April 2022 — just one month after it was released by crypto forensics firm Chainalysis. It worked as intended — no sanctioned wallets interacted directly with Tornado Cash after the tool was installed, according to Edman. But getting around the tool was as easy as creating new intermediary wallets, Edman said. Because the US Treasury Department could not sanction these intermediary wallets in real time, the tool could not prevent sanctioned entities, such as North Korea, from using Tornado Cash. Edman also testified that 85% of the crypto deposited in Tornado Cash between September 2020 and August 2022 could not be traced to crime. On Tuesday, defence attorneys expect to call as many as six witnesses, including Columbia University adjunct professor Omid Malekan and Johns Hopkins University associate professor Matthew Green. Storm has yet to decide whether he will testify in his own trial, defence attorney Brian Klein said on Monday. If Storm does not testify, both sides expect to present their closing arguments on Wednesday. Aleks Gilbert is DL News' New York-based DeFi Correspondent.

Colorado dentist drugged wife years before alleged poisoning murder, friend testifies
Angela Craig's lifelong best friend took the stand Monday as the Colorado murder trial of dentist James Craig entered its second week, telling jurors that the mother of six was never the kind of woman who gave up easily. "She wasn't a risk-taker. She wasn't manipulative," Nicole Harmon told the court. "And she never said anything — ever — about wanting to die." Dr. James Toliver Craig, 47, is charged with first-degree murder in the March 2023 death of his wife, 43-year-old Angela Craig. Her cause of death was determined to be lethal doses of cyanide and tetrahydrozoline. Dentist Accused Of Poisoning Wife's Shake Said He Gave Her 'Too Much Protein': Co-worker On March 9, 2023, approximately one week before the 43-year-old was pronounced brain-dead, Angela texted Harmon asking for help checking her blood sugar. When she arrived, she found Angela curled up. "She hadn't eaten. She couldn't stand," Harmon said, telling the jury that James had made his wife a shake that morning. Read On The Fox News App When the friend texted and asked what was going on, she testified, James brushed it off. "Post-COVID," he texted. "Not diabetes." Not once, she told jurors, did he mention poison. "Angela never knew what was killing her," the witness said. Harmon shared that she and her husband, Mike, had known the Craigs since the 2000s. Angela was hospitalized for five days. Through Angela's prolonged hospital stays, Harmon said that she never expressed that she wanted to die. Follow The Fox True Crime Team On X Harmon's testimony went back to 2019, when the witness said James made a confession to her and her husband. He told them in 2019 that he planned to inject himself with a lethal substance and had drugged Angela first so she wouldn't stop him. David Gelman, a criminal defense attorney who has been following the case, told Fox News Digital that the drugging incident could help the prosecution "because it shows that James was predisposed to drugging Angela before." "It required intent and thought. The same motive that the prosecution has now for James," he said. "That is an aspect I would really hammer if I'm the prosecution." Sign Up To Get The True Crime Newsletter James also admitted to the Harmons that he, in 2019, was dealing with a "sexual addiction," and told them that he was in therapy, she testified. Angela, her friend said, never brought it up. Harmon testified that she sent Angela a message later: "I'm sorry. I didn't know you were dealing with this." Angela replied: "You weren't there when I needed you." Colorado Dentist's Alleged Internet Search History Takes Center Stage As Murder Trial Begins From that moment, the decades-long friendship fractured. "She was angry," Harmon said. "Really mad at her life and how it was turning out. And I was OK with that. I was OK with her taking it out on me." Gelman said the years-long gap in communication between Angela and her best friend doesn't undermine the witness's reliability. "It doesn't hurt her credibility. She can only testify by what she has observed and her conversations with Angela," he said. "Obviously, she is not privy to the inner workings of the marriage with James since the relationship fractured, but her credibility is still intact since she was not confused or crossed up on the stand." The longtime friend testified that Angela never opened up about the inner workings of her marriage. "She had all the chances," the witness said. "She never told me. She didn't want me to see her husband differently." READ THE INCIDENT REPORT – APP USERS, Click Here GET REAL-TIME UPDATES AT THE FOX NEWS True Crime Hub Investigators alleged in court documents obtained by Fox News Digital that, in the weeks before his wife's hospitalization and death, James used a dental office computer to search for "undetectable poisons" and how to obtain them (later purchasing arsenic and cyanide by mail), "how many grams of pure arsenic will kill a human" and "is arsenic detectable in an autopsy?" Alongside these online searches, investigators alleged he made YouTube queries such as "how to make poison" and "Top 5 Undetectable Poisons That Show No Signs of Foul Play."
