The Morgan County Sheriff’s Office took to Facebook yesterday with a blunt request for help, asking residents to assist in tracking down three men tied to a slate of serious felony allegations. Deputies named Derek Noel, Jacob Good and Caleb Brewer, saying the open cases include a drug-dealing count connected to a death, a felony weapons charge and an alleged probation violation involving domestic battery.
Suspects And Booking Details
According to a Facebook update from the sheriff’s office, Derek Noel is charged with felony dealing resulting in death and is listed under booking number 98073. Jacob Good is cited for felony firearm possession with booking number 288720, and Caleb Brewer is listed on a probation violation and domestic battery allegation with booking number 191419. The sheriff’s office also reminded the public that all three men are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court and urged anyone with information to contact law enforcement.
How To Report Tips
Deputies cautioned residents not to follow or confront the named suspects on their own and to call 911 immediately if they spot any of them. For non-emergency information, the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office lists a dispatch line at 765-342-5544 and a county jail information number at 765-342-4303 on its official website, the Morgan County Sheriff's Office.
Legal Context
Under state law, "dealing in a controlled substance resulting in death" is a specifically defined and very serious offense. The statute outlines the elements of the crime and classifies it in different levels depending on the underlying conduct. The text of the law is available online and explains why prosecutors sometimes file that charge when drug use ends in a fatality, through the Indiana Code.
What Happens Next
The sheriff’s office did not release last-known locations for the three men. Instead, the department asked residents to call in tips, avoid direct contact and keep an eye on its Facebook page for any developments. The agency also posts additional contact information and updates on its official website, the Morgan County Sheriff's Office.
