ZIONSVILLE, Ind. — The Feb. 1 search at the Wabash Township Fire Department will not result in any charges, Zionsville police Capt. Drake Sterling said Friday.

He referred the Journal & Courier on to another public information officer for more details. That officer has not yet responded to a voicemail.

"At this time, we are closing our investigation ... with no charges to be filed," a Zionsville detective stated in a March 6 email acquired by the Journal & Courier. "All of his property can be picked up from the Whitestown Police Department and the Boone County Sheriff’s Office."

The email thanked township and department officials, as well as the target of the search warrants, for their cooperation.

In the predawn hours of Feb. 1, Zionsville officers served a search warrant at the Wabash Township Fire Department.

At the same time that officers searched the fire department, other officers were at a home in Lebanon believed to be linked to the same investigation.

The Journal & Courier has not reported what police were looking for in the searches and has not reported who was the target of the search warrants.

Wabash Township Fire Chief Ed Ward said the person who was the target of the searches returned to work about two weeks ago.
