(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) – A Madison man is facing multiple felony drug charges following a methamphetamine bust in Lawrenceburg.

On August 20, Scott A. Sillett, 52, was charged with Possession with Intent to Deliver Methamphetamine (Level 2 Felony), Possession of Methamphetamine with Enhancing Circumstances (Level 4 Felony), Maintaining a Common Nuisance (Level 6 Felony), Possession of a Legend Drug (Level 6 Felony) and Possession of Paraphernalia (Class C Misdemeanor).

Indiana State Troopers, along with the Lawrenceburg Police, went to Sillett’s residence on the 300 block of Arch Street following multiple complaints of illegal drug activity.

The information provided to the police was that multiple persons were coming and going from the apartment for short periods at a time. Additional information was that Sillett was dealing with methamphetamine.

A Trooper from the Indiana State Police first made contact with Sillett at his residence on August 20 around 11:00 p.m. Inside the apartment, Sillett advised that he had friends that visited him and smoked marijuana while inside. He also told police that there may be paraphernalia present in the apartment.

Following his statement, Lawrenceburg Police were granted permission to enter the residence. While retrieving paraphernalia, a crystal substance consistent with methamphetamine was allegedly located on a table in the living room.

Police requested to search the residence, to which Sillett denied.

Police then obtained a search warrant where multiple items were seized, including a plastic bag containing approximately 8 grams of methamphetamine, plastic baggies, and containers containing various pills and tablets, a glass methamphetamine pipe, multiple digital scales, and other drug paraphernalia.

Sillett was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Dearborn County Law Enforcement Center, where he will be held until his initial appearance in Dearborn County Circuit Court.

Police stated that the amount of methamphetamine found in Sillett’s apartment is consistent with dealing and is greater than what is typically possessed for personal use.

Circumstances are also enhanced due to his apartment being in close proximity to the Arch Street Community Public Park (430 feet).
