WARSAW — The first instinct of The 35-year-old woman arrested last week and caught in possession of large amounts of meth, fentanyl and cocaine was to flee.
But soon after her arrest, Erika Bruner began talking with investigators about her business practices.
Bruner fled police after an attempted traffic stop on Jan. 17 for disregarding a stop sign. As she drove away, Bruner threw two black bags and a drink from her SUV. After a short chase, she eventually pulled over on Backwater Road south of North Webster and was apprehended.
Soon after, though, her outlook changed and she made some eye-popping admissions to police, according to court documents.
She told investigators that she would acquire a pound of methamphetamine and sell it in Kosciusko County in one day.
The Warsaw woman admitted she sold large quantities of methamphetamine fentanyl, cocaine and marijuana. She said the last time she obtained meth on Jan. 5 she sold it to six people.
The bust involved the seizure of 2.9 pounds of meth, 20 grams of fentanyl, 27 grams of cocaine, as well as LSD, Xanax, five firearms and a drone used to deliver drugs.
Court paperwork did not refer to the use of the drone.
Contents of the two black bags included drugs and an unloaded handgun, court records said.
Bruner said she decided to end the police chase after talking with her boyfriend on a cell phone while driving.
The investigation began as a result of tips from concerned residents.
Bruner, who has a criminal record involving drugs and at least one gun conviction, is facing a large number of charges in both Kosciusko and Elkhart counties.
