Indiana conservation officers arrested the suspect in Harrison County, which is in the south-central part of the state.
Officers saw the individual dancing in the road while carrying an Eastern box turtle.
They later discovered that the person allegedly had methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, according to the post.
The DNR said Eastern box turtles cannot be collected from the wild.
The species is long-lived, slow to mature, and has a few offspring per year.
Officers released the unharmed turtle near the area from which it was removed.
