EATON — Preble County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested two people and seized 58 grams of suspected methamphetamine in unrelated contacts on Tuesday, Dec. 1.

Deputies were assisting the Adult Parole Authority with a home visit of a subject at 3845 Bantas Creek Road. The suspect, David H. Shindeldecker, age 46, was arrested for a parole violation.

During the search, deputies located suspected methamphetamine in the suspect’s pants pocket, and further investigation by the Adult Parole Authority determined that the suspect was in possession of additional suspected methamphetamine in his residence and a .22 caliber handgun.

Due to his status as a convicted felon, Shindeldecker was prohibited from possessing a firearm due to a prior felony drug conviction.

Deputies seized approximately 19 grams of methamphetamine. Shindeldecker was housed in the Preble County Jail. He was formally charged in Eaton Municipal Court with the following offenses:

• Aggravated Possession of Drugs, a 2nd Degree Felony.
• Illegal Use or Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, a 4th Degree Misdemeanor.
• Having Weapons While Under Disability, a 3rd Degree Felony.

Shindeldecker remains in the Preble County Jail for the parole violation and the above charges.

Later on Dec. 1, a deputy had contact with a suspect with a suspended driver’s license who was operating a vehicle on Eaton Gettysburg Road at Washington Jackson Road.

During contact with the driver, the deputy detected the odor of raw marijuana, and a probable cause search of the vehicle revealed a tan zipper bag that contained approximately 39 grams of suspected methamphetamine.

The deputy further located marijuana, a digital scale with residue, a glass smoking pipe, several unidentified pills, and an unidentified powder substance.

The driver, Andrew Parizek, age 34 of West Alexandria, has been formally charged in Eaton Municipal Court with the following offenses:

• Aggravated Possession of Drugs, a 2nd Degree Felony
• Possessing Criminal Tools, a 5th Degree Felony
• Illegal Use or Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, a 4th Degree Misdemeanor
