A: Sounds like the person who left your house 6 months ago threw you under the bus. You should consult with a local criminal defense attorney. They may be able to reach out the prosecutor or police to get more information and help control the situation for you.

A: In Indiana, law enforcement typically requires a warrant to enter your home unless there are immediate safety concerns or you provide consent. If police officers arrive without a warrant and claim you're involved in drug dealing, you have the right to refuse entry and remain silent.
