Police Officer Arrested for Selling Narcotics in Anderson, Indiana
INDIANAPOLIS – Donald Jordan, a 52-year-old police officer from Anderson, Indiana, has been arrested and charged with possession with intent to distribute hydrocodone and Xanax.
According to a criminal complaint affidavit, the investigation began in June 2015 when a citizen contacted law enforcement with information about Jordan’s alleged criminal activity. The citizen claimed that Jordan provided them with three hydrocodone pills and asked them to touch him in a sexual manner after exposing himself.
On December 9, 2015, an undercover FBI agent met Jordan at a convenience store in Anderson, where Jordan acknowledged that he had marijuana and Xanax for sale. During the transaction, Jordan was dressed in full police uniform and was driving a marked police car.
The undercover agent agreed to purchase 15 Xanax pills from Jordan for $45, and Jordan gave the agent $15 in change after receiving $60 in cash. Jordan then instructed the agent to go to a local business and wait for his return, before transferring the pills to the agent in his marked police car.
The citizens of Anderson deserve better from their public servants, said U.S. Attorney Josh J. Minkler. When a police officer betrays the trust of the community he serves by dealing drugs, he will be targeted, investigated, and prosecuted like any other drug dealer.
Donald Jordan faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted of both charges. He was released on home detention with GPS monitoring after his initial appearance before a magistrate judge in Indianapolis.
The charges against Jordan are a reminder that law enforcement officers who engage in misconduct will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. The men and women of the Anderson Police Department are dedicated to serving this community and maintaining the public’s trust, said Anderson Police Chief Larry Crenshaw.
