An anonymous tip submitted through the Dubois County Sheriff’s Office mobile app has led to the arrest of a Jasper man on multiple felony charges. The subject, identified as 43-year-old Joshua E. Norman, was found in possession of 4.3 grams of methamphetamine, 15.3 grams of psychedelic mushrooms, 52.5 grams of marijuana, and multiple firearms.

On Friday, September 6, Narcotics Detectives received information through the Dubois County Sheriff’s Office mobile app tip line about a male subject in possession of methamphetamine, psychedelic mushrooms, marijuana, and firearms at a residence in Jasper. On Tuesday, September 10th, Detectives arrived at the residence to speak to Norman. Upon arrival, they knocked on the front door and immediately detected a strong odor of raw marijuana coming from inside the home.

When no one answered the door, detectives walked to the back of the residence. As they passed a window AC unit, they noticed the odor of raw marijuana coming from the exhaust. Detectives then applied for a search warrant through the Dubois County Superior Court. Shortly after, Joshua returned home, and the search warrant was granted and executed.

Joshua E. Norman was transported to the Dubois County Security Center, where he is currently being held on the following charges:

  • Possession of Methamphetamine, Level 5 Felony
  • Possession of a Controlled Substance with Enhancing Circumstance, Level 6 Felony
  • Possession of Marijuana, Class B Misdemeanor
  • Possession of Paraphernalia, Class C Misdemeanor

His bond has been set at $2,500 by the Dubois County Superior Court.
