Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s Overdose Death Task Force recently made an arrest in connection to a fatal drug overdose that occurred in August. Andrew Greer, 39, was apprehended following an investigation into the circumstances leading up to the overdose death of a 44-year-old woman. According to a social media post from IMPD News, detectives utilized several investigative tactics and received community support to swiftly identify Greer as the suspected drug dealer.
On the 14th of August, police were called to Southport Crossing Place where two adult females were found unresponsive in a vehicle. Emergency services, arriving at the scene, were able to revive one of the women; however, her companion was pronounced dead. Investigation at the scene led authorities to believe that both individuals had overdosed. The IMPD narcotics detection K9 unit was later involved in a traffic stop which resulted in the discovery of Fentanyl and other evidence suggestive of drug dealing in Greer’s vehicle.
As reported by IMPD News, further investigation confirmed Greer's connection to the drugs involved in the fatal overdose. The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office issued an arrest warrant on September 25, leading to Greer's arrest on multiple active warrants, one of which included the charge for dealing drugs resulting in death. A subsequent lawful search of Greer’s residence uncovered even more evidence tied to drug dealing activities.
The collaborative efforts between various law enforcement agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Indiana State Police, have been emphasized as crucial in this investigation. The Overdose Death Task Force, which made 11 arrests this year for dealing controlled substances resulting in death, aims to bring not only to arrest but also to foster accountability and compassion in the fight against drug-related tragedies.
