(Marshall County, IN) - A former Indiana State Police officer has been arrested on drug charges in Marshall County.

On Wednesday 46-year-old Nathan Vanderaa of Plymouth was arrested in Plymouth after an investigation.

In June of last year, Vanderaa was charged with dealing in meth along with five other people. He was free on a $50,000 cash bond for that charge.

Now Vanderaa, who authorites say served a brief stint as a State Police officer, is being held on a $250,000 cash bond, facing charges of dealing methamphetamine, a Level 4 Felony.

Prosecuting Attorney Nelson Chipman congratulated county law enforcement for coducting a successful investigation: “ I am grateful for the work of the Marshall County Drug Task Force, Det. Sgt. Bryant, and the collaborative efforts of the officers from the Fulton County Sheriff’s Department that safely conducted this operation resulting in the arrest.”
