Two men were arrested Saturday in Putnam County after a traffic stop revealed 309 pounds of cocaine in their semi-truck trailer, which is an estimated street value of $7 million.
The occupants of the vehicle, Gurpreet Singh, age 25, from Fresno, California, and Jasveer Singh, age 30, from Santa Clara, California, were taken into custody without incident. They have been charged with dealing narcotics, a level two felony.
Both men have ICE deportation holds placed on them.
The truck was reportedly driving from Joplin, Missouri, to Richmond, Indiana
In a press release, Indiana State Police Superintendent Anthony Scott highlighted the commitment to drug interdiction efforts in the state and emphasized the ongoing efforts to keep illegal drugs off the street and out of communities.
The suspects were transported to the Putnam County Jail for processing.
Jasveer and Gurpreet Singh are subject to ICE deportation holds. They are illegal aliens driving semis full of drugs.
From the Indiana State Police:
Saturday, January 3, 2026, at approximately 1:30 p.m., an Indiana State Police Trooper stopped a blue International semi tractor-trailer on I-70 at the 41 mile-marker eastbound, for a routine DOT compliance inspection.

During a joint operation conducted by ISP and ICE last fall in the northwestern part of the state, 223 illegal aliens were arrested, “including 146 truck drivers. Many of those arrested had criminal records such as driving under the influence, assault, child abuse, burglary and drug trafficking, according to the governor’s office.”
Send these people packing. Thank a Democrat for these dirtbags.
California gives CDLs to illegal aliens with ICE deportation orders meaning they’ve had their day in court and lost. Go figure. What I don’t understand is when these illegals and every other illegal is given a deportation order by a court, they aren’t immediately taken from the court and deported. But given that well over 90% of the illegals never… Read more »
