Online exchanges lead to New Castle man's meth-dealing arrest
View Comments
NEW CASTLE, Ind. — A New Castle man apparently thought he was communicating online with a potential sex partner, not a member of the Henry County Area Drug Task Force, when he allegedly agreed to sell meth.
Carmen Sidgel Ruben Stewart, 32, was charged Thursday in Henry Circuit Court 1 with conspiracy to commit dealing in meth, a Leve 5 felony carrying up to six years in prison, and unlawful possession of a syringe, a Level 6 felony with a maximum 30-month sentence.
Stewart was arrested at mid-day Thursday when he arrived at a local hotel, where he had agreed to pick up the woman he had been communicating with — actually a task force member — purportedly with plans to then take her to another location to sell her meth.
