Curtis Colvin, 39, Indianapolis
HANCOCK COUNTY — Officials from the Hancock County prosecutor’s office have filed felony gun and drug charges against an Indianapolis man stemming from an incident this past Sunday.
Curtis Colvin, 39, 3400 block of North Capitol Avenue, has been charged with a Level 4 felony count of unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon and a Level 5 count of possession of cocaine.
The case was officially opened in Hancock County Circuit Court earlier this week where Judge Terry Snow appointed a public defender on Colvin’s behalf and set a $15,000 cash bond. Colvin is currently an inmate in the Hancock County Jail and has a pretrial conference slated for September. Colvin has asked the court for a “fast and speedy” trial which is currently slated for Tuesday, Oct. 17.
According to a probable cause affidavit, officials from the Hancock County Sheriff’s Department (HCSD) were asked to check on a suspicious vehicle in the area of CR 800W and CR 500S Aug. 13. The deputies found the car in a field at 4575 CR South 800W.
Officials noted the caller was still there and saw Colvin place something in the trunk of the vehicle as law enforcement arrived. Officials noted there were two people associated with the vehicle — Colvin and David Plumley, 22, Indianapolis, the affidavit said.
Colvin told officials they were following GPS and thought they had turned into a park entrance and not the field which they ended up in, the affidavit said.
Law enforcement asked for permission to search the vehicle after the two said they had been drinking and when they did they found a loaded firearm, one officials said was reported stolen from Marion County. The affidavit noted officials also found a white powdery/rock like substance in a clear baggy which field tested positive for cocaine.
Officials noted Colvin has a prior conviction for an unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon in Marion County, the affidavit said.
While Colvin is facing serious felony charges, Plumley is listed as facing a Level 6 felony count of possession of cocaine. That case is being handled in Hancock County Superior Court 2, court records show.
