Lawrenceburg, In. — Four Franklin County residents have been arrested following a Lawrenceburg casino methamphetamine investigation.
Security officers at the Hollywood Casino requested help from the Lawrenceburg Police Department after observing drug activity on Friday, March 2. During the investigation, police discovered the occupants of the fifth-floor room in question had checked out, but left baggies and used syringes behind.
Police soon discovered the room was in the name of Brian Petit, 37, of Cedar Grove, and he was wanted for a drug warrant from Hamilton County, Ohio for aggravated trafficking in drugs.
Police instructed hotel workers to notify police if Petit returned.
About 10 days later police received a report that Petit had returned to the casino. After confirming the Ohio drug warrant was still active police went to the fourth floor room and took him into custody.
While in the room police observed several other people attempting to hide items while police processed Pettit.
Police arrested Pettit, Marica L. England, 45, of Rising Sun, Kelly Mills, 36, of Harrison, Ohio, Ricky Robertson, 55, Charlene M. Robertson, 56, and James Hicks, Jr., 50, all of Brookville for felony drug related charges.
Reports indicate the Robertsons are married and Charlene and James Hicks are siblings.
