Reports state that Indiana State Police recorded Allen selling drugs to an informant.
A subsequent search of his apartment resulted in the finding of a colt .45 handgun, 47 grams of cocaine, 13 grams of heroin and three half-smoked blunts. The police also found $920 in cash which included money paid to Allen by the informant during the drugs purchases.
Allen, 20, was charged with dealing cocaine, dealing heroin over 10 grams while possessing a firearm – both of which are level 2 felonies – as well as a lesser charge of dealing methamphetamines.
