On Thursday, January 31st at approximately 3:00 pm, deputies from the Vanderburgh Sheriff’s Office responded to 2740 Corona Drive in regards to a complaint of an odor of marijuana coming from the building. Upon arrival, Deputy Bryan Bishop, along with Deputy Jacob Board and Mark Rasure, could smell a strong odor inside the building but were unable to determine which apartment it was coming from.
Deputy Bryan Bishop then deployed his K9 partner “Bosko†who indicated the odor was originating from Apartment “Aâ€. With several attempts to contact the residents, deputies did finally contact Jasmine T. Coit, who lives in the apartment and was present. When deputies questioned Coit about the smell of marijuana, Coit admitted to smoking marijuana but stated none was left in the apartment. Coit did give consent to search the apartment. Prior to searching the residence, a Jacob N. Durre, arrived and stated he too resided at the apartment.
Deputy Bishop and his partner “Bosko†then conducted a search of the apartment which lead them to a dresser drawer in a back bedroom. Upon search of the dresser, Deputy Bishop recovered 3 baggies of marijuana weighing approximately 15 grams and smoking paraphernalia. In another drawer, Deputy Bishop recovered sandwich baggies with loose $1 bills and a shoe box which contained a large amount of currency. Deputies also located a bag in the closet which contained a large amount of currency. Additionally, deputies located a piece of mail underneath the currency belonging to Durre. A total of $48,408.00 was recovered.
Durre and Coit then allowed deputies to search their four vehicles. Deputies recovered two handguns and ammunition from the trunk of one vehicle along with narcotics paraphernalia.
Investigators with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the Evansville-Vanderburgh Joint Narcotics Task Force (JTF) were called to assist at the scene. Detectives continued the investigation at two storage units Durre rented near South Greenriver Road and Fickas Road. Inside the storage units, detectives found a large bucket which contained approximately two pounds of suspected K2 along with paraphernalia to distribute the substance.
Durre was placed under arrest and transported to the Vanderburgh County Confinement Center and Coit was issued a citation.
The investigation is ongoing and future criminal charges are pending.
It’s ironic Deputy Bishop busted a couple marijuana nobody’s since he knows plenty of friends who smoke. Hypocrites all.
I’m surprised this guys hair didn’t give him away sooner. Nuthin says classy like cornrows on a white guy.
The bad hairdo is a separate crime.
Hey I care less about the weed , the real crime here should be your screen name … Come on CCO let’s keep screen names a little cleaner No need for a name like that
We changed it to shirt. Thanks for the heads up.
Legalize it. Get off your high horses and stop taking bribes from big pharma, law enforcement, and prison lobbies. If people could smoke the real thing the deaths from that awful k2 stuff would stop.
