Indiana man feared dead found during drug bust
DAYTON - Police delivered good and bad news to an Indiana family who thought their loved one was dead from a drug overdose, but was instead discovered in the front seat of a car in Dayton Tuesday, March 10.
Mark Price, 28, is alive but is now in the Montgomery County Jail on drug paraphernalia possession and theft charges after officers found drugs in the car, according to a police report.
Officers were patrolling the 200 block of Valley Street about 6:30 p.m. when they noticed Jeremy Braden, who was an alleged theft suspect, behind the wheel of a 2003 Buick Century, the report stated.
Both Price and Braden, 19, got out of the car and tried to walk away as officers approached, but were escorted back to the vehicle, the report stated. Officers found baggies of marijuana in Braden’s pocket which he said he planned to sell, the report stated.
Braden was arrested on a drug trafficking charge and is in jail, according to jail records.
Officers also discovered a crack pipe which Price said belonged to him, the report stated. Price’s family was later notified he was no longer missing and was alive. Both men are expected to appear in court today.
