A multi-agency drug investigation in Daviess County, Indiana has led to the seizure of nearly four pounds of methamphetamine and the arrest of 42-year-old Eric Logston after a multi-county pursuit. Logston allegedly rammed a police vehicle and fled, leading officers on a chase through Petersburg and into Pike County before he was apprehended.
Why it matters
The large meth seizure and dangerous pursuit highlight the ongoing battle against drug trafficking and the risks posed to public safety when suspects flee from law enforcement. Indiana has seen a rise in methamphetamine-related crimes in recent years, prompting increased coordination between local and state police agencies.
The details
According to police, officers working with the DEA Task Force, Daviess County Sheriff's Office, and Indiana State Police began an investigation in January that resulted in a warrant for Logston on a dealing methamphetamine charge. On February 7, officers attempted to arrest Logston outside a local hotel, but he allegedly rammed a police vehicle and fled. The pursuit continued through Petersburg and into Pike County, where Logston struck a Petersburg Police vehicle before officers were able to stop him in a parking lot. Police say Logston resisted commands and began ingesting suspected meth before officers administered Narcan and first aid. Investigators later recovered an additional 41 grams of meth and a large amount of cash at the scene.
- The investigation began in January 2026.
- The pursuit and arrest occurred on February 7, 2026.
