Bremen ISP efforts snare dozens of people

News Release

BREMEN — A focus on warrants and extra patrols resulted in police actions involving upward of four dozen people.

The ISP Bremen Post conducted a Wolfpack Patrol in St. Joseph County on Thursday, April 3, and rounded out the week with a warrant blitz across the district on Friday, April 4.

Targeted, high-visibility patrols focus on proactive policing and criminal interdiction as part of a commitment to the community.

The patrol on Thursday was conducted over a six-hour span and resulted in:

  • 14 tickets written
  • 20 warnings
  • 1 OWI arrest
  • 11 drug arrests
  • 7 felony arrests
  • 15 misdemeanor arrests
  • 4 defendants taken to jail
  • 4 defendants with charges to be submitted to the Prosecutor’s Office

The warrant blitz on Friday, April 4, focused on cases within our community where those with criminal charges may have thought they could tip the scales of justice in their favor by not answering to their charges. The blitz resulted in:

  • 10 defendants arrested for a total of 28 criminal charges
  • 18 felonies
  • 10 misdemeanors

Of note, Matthew Campbell, age 43 of South Bend was arrested at his home for three active warrants out of Marshall County for Dealing a Controlled Substance Resulting in Death, Possession of Methamphetamine, and Possession of a Narcotic.

The Indiana State Police will continue to have high visibility, focused patrols throughout the communities we work in using proactive enforcement as well as investigative and crime prevention efforts to make our communities safer for everyone.
