Darke County arrests 1 of its most wanted — in Ind., not at the fair

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT: UPDATE @ 10:12 p.m.: According to a Darke County sheriff's sergeant, Matthew Blackburn was captured in Wayne County — not the Great Darke County Fair as previously reported.

The arrest did occur today, said the sergeant, who noted that he doesn’t know why the Darke County Crime Stoppers page announced, on the sheriff’s Facebook page, that Blackburn had been arrested at the fair.

We tried to contact officials with Darke County Crime Stoppers tonight, but without success.

FIRST REPORT

One of Darke County’s most wanted is in jail tonight after sheriff’s deputies arrested him at the Great Darke County Fair this week.

Matthew Blackburn, 20, has been wanted since a county grand jury indicted him in October 2015 on two counts of felony drug trafficking in LSD, according to an announcement by Darke County Crime Stoppers posted tonight.

The indictment follows a bench warrant issued in August 2015 out of county Municipal Court when Blackburn failed to appear on a misdemeanor charge of underage consumption (alcohol).

His last known address was in Greenville.
