IMPD arrests 3 people for illegal possession of guns, cash and drugs

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Three people were arrested by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department for illegal possession of guns, cash, and drugs.

After a months-long investigation, detectives witnessed and documented purchases of illegal drugs from a house in the 1500 block of South State Street. Detectives also gathered information that those living in the house were “not only supplying illegal drugs and maintaining a common nuisance, but also promoting prostitution.”

After detectives obtained a search warrant, they requested assistance of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s SWAT team.

When entering the home, SWAT team members detained six people. Two of those detained were 67-year-old Dennis Blow and 30-year-old Kevin Tyson. There were both in possession of handguns and are considered serious violent felons.

Detectives seized the following items in the home:

  • An undetermined amount of synthetic marijuana
  • Five hand guns
  • One high-velocity rifle
  • Nearly $900,000

Blow and Tyson face preliminary charges of possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon. Blow was also arrested on preliminary charges that include possession of a controlled substance and maintaining a common nuisance.

39-year-old Valerie Fugate was arrested on preliminary charges of visiting a common nuisance.

All three suspects were transported to the Arrestee Processing Center.
