(Dearborn County, Ind.) – A Milroy man was arrested on drug charges following a traffic stop on Interstate 74 in northern Dearborn County.
Brian Hillebrand, 46, was taken into custody on Monday and charged with Possession of a Narcotic Drug Over 5 Grams (Level 5 Felony), Possession of a Syringe (Level 6 Felony), and Possession of Paraphernalia (Class A Misdemeanor).
