The Monroe County Sheriff's Office wants help finding 45-year-old Adam Thomas Naugle, who is facing a Level 6 felony stalking charge, two Level 6 felony counts of unlawful surveillance, a Class B misdemeanor for criminal mischief, and a Class A misdemeanor for driving while suspended. Deputies describe him as standing 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 195 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes.
The office posted Naugle's case as its latest “Wanted Wednesday” bulletin, according to a Monroe County Sheriff's Office Facebook post published Wednesday. The notice states Naugle also has additional outstanding warrants in Boone and Clark counties, pointing to a law enforcement footprint that extends well beyond Monroe County alone.
That multi-county pattern isn't new. Public arrest records show Naugle was booked into the Boone County Jail on March 17, 2025, and again on January 17, 2026, according to booking logs compiled by Recently Booked. A felony warrant out of Clark County was also separately listed in an arrest report published by Amos Publishing Media.
A Years-Long Pattern of Warrants Across Central Indiana
Naugle's contact with Indiana courts stretches back years and across county lines. In 2023, the Daily Journal reported that then-42-year-old Adam Thomas Naugle of Bloomington was arrested on an outstanding warrant for failure to appear and released on a $300 bond. The following year, radio station WBIW's law enforcement log noted that 43-year-old Adam Naugle of Bloomington was being sought on an active warrant in Lawrence County.
City of Bloomington municipal records add a more local, and considerably lower-stakes, entry to that history: a January 2022 uReport complaint on South Fairfax Road involving Naugle concerned animal control issues and a property dispute, according to city case records.
What the Felony Charges Could Mean If Naugle Is Convicted
Under Indiana Code § 35-45-10-5, criminal stalking is defined as a knowing or intentional course of conduct involving repeated harassment that causes a reasonable person fear or distress, and carries a base classification of Level 6 felony, according to Justia Law. Separately, Indiana Code § 35-46-8.5-1 makes placing unattended video or electronic surveillance equipment on private property without consent a Level 6 felony when the defendant has a prior qualifying conviction for stalking or domestic violence, per the same statutory source.
If convicted, each Level 6 felony count carries a fixed prison term ranging from six months to 2.5 years, an advisory sentence of one year, and fines of up to $10,000 per count, according to Indiana Code § 35-50-2-7 as cited by FindLaw. That same statute gives courts discretion to convert certain Level 6 felony convictions into Class A misdemeanors through Alternative Misdemeanor Sentencing once statutory requirements are met, according to the Hayes Law Office. It's worth stressing that these warrants represent pending allegations, not convictions, and no court has yet determined Naugle's guilt on any of the charges listed.
