Two people have been charged after large amounts of meth, cocaine, and fentanyl were seized at a home on West Highland Avenue, according to the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office. Some of the drugs were kept under a child’s bed, according to DCSO.
According to a release, at approximately 2 p.m. Tuesday detectives with the Special Investigations Unit, General Investigations Unit, and Patrol Deputies executed a traffic stop and search warrant in the 600 block of West Highland Avenue at the residence of Cornelius Harris and Tiana Finch.

According to DCSO, Finch faces additional charges “in reference to keeping amounts of cocaine, fentanyl, methamphetamine, heroin, and the digital scales underneath the kid’s bed, in their bedroom, where they sleep nightly and had easy access to these dangerous drugs.”
The additional charges include trafficking in controlled substances with a firearm enhancement for each drug (greater than or equal to 4 grams of cocaine; carfentanil or fentanyl derivatives; heroin), first-degree wanton endangerment, and no registration plates.
