Search for man leads to South Bend SWAT standoff; over 150 grams of suspected drugs found
SOUTH BEND — After a multi-hour standoff in which the South Bend Police Department's SWAT Team said it found more than 150 grams of cocaine, one man was charged with four felonies and another with two misdemeanors. Donald Anderson, 70, was charged by the St. Joseph County Prosecutor's office with: level two felony dealing cocaine over 10 grams, level three felony possession of cocaine over 28 grams, level two felony dealing a narcotic over 10 grams, and level four felony possession of a narcotic between 10 and 28 grams. Terrance Snelling, 49, was charged with misdemeanor resisting law enforcement and misdemeanor criminal mischief. Officers with the police department's Strategic Focus Unit surveilled the 400 block of West Marion Street on April 24 and saw Snelling, who has an active arrest warrant filed in October 2023 accusing him of possession of cocaine and resisting law enforcement, enter an apartment building. Police said they tried unsuccessfully to contact Snelling and requested the help of SWAT officers and the Hostage/Crisis Negotiation team. During the standoff, a woman exited the building and told officers the man forced his way into an apartment inside, prosecutors claim in a probable cause affidavit filed with the court. The woman was initially arrested but ultimately not charged by the prosecutor's office. During a search, police did not find Snelling but found a small bag with a white powdery substance suspected to be cocaine next to a scale and razor blade coated with the substance, leading police to seek a search warrant for the apartment, prosecutors said. In an unlocked safe, officers found 175.4 grams of field tested cocaine, 1.9 grams of field tested cocaine and fentanyl, a container with 23.1 grams of field tested cocaine and fentanyl and a prescription pill bottle made out to Donald R. Anderson, prosecutors said. The search also recovered a firearm, police said. Later, investigators said, Anderson arrived and asked to retrieve his medicine from the apartment, saying he lived in the apartment and that the woman was visiting. Police said Snelling exited the residence without incident after several hours.
