An Evansville man is back behind bars, accused of dealing illegal drugs. WNIN’s John Gibson has the story:
The Evansville-Vanderburgh County Drug Task Force says it received information in January that 50-year-old Anthony Michael Stepro was selling meth from his home in the 2100 block of West Delaware Street.
Detectives were able to establish sufficient probable cause to obtain a search warrant for Stepro’s residence.
They stopped Stepro as he was leaving the home Thursday (Feb. 12) and began a search.
Detectives say they found more than 350 grams of suspected methamphetamine, about 27 grams of suspected marijuana, and a loaded handgun.
Stepro has a prior federal conviction for Possession of a Firearm by a Felon, as well as previous state convictions for Dealing Meth.
Officers took him to the Vanderburgh County Jail where he faces new charges of Dealing Methamphetamine, Possession of Marijuana, and Possession of a Firearm by a Serious Violent Felon.
