Indianapolis man found guilty of drug trafficking, faces up to life in prison
INDIANAPOLIS — An Indianapolis man has been found guilty of trafficking methamphetamine and fentanyl, and illegally possessing firearms.
A federal jury has found Steven Lamar Brown, 42, guilty of seven felony charges including the following:
- Five counts of trafficking methamphetamine and fentanyl
- One count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon

According to court documents and evidence introduced at trial, between Sept. 2020 and Feb. 2021, Brown was observed and recorded on video and audio selling more than 50 grams of methamphetamine on three separate occasions.
On the recordings, Brown can be clearly seen and heard weighing drugs and counting the money he received in exchange.
On Feb. 23, 2021, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers attempted to stop Brown in his car to arrest him, but he refused to comply.
Police say officers eventually stopped Brown, searched his vehicle and found a loaded .380 caliber pistol in the glove box.
Law enforcement, including Task Force Officers with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and IMPD officers, conducted a court-authorized search of Brown’s residence.
Throughout the home, they found the following:

Jaguars return home after getting stuck on Indianapolis tarmac for 7 hours during storm
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars returned home early Monday after spending seven hours waiting through a winter storm on the tarmac at Indianapolis International Airport.
The National Weather Service reported heavy snow — between 2 and 5 inches — freezing drizzle and wind gusts of up to 40 mph in central Indiana.
The Jaguars (4-13) had hoped to get out of Indy before the worst of it, but their game against the Colts went to overtime and caused enough of a delay that players, coaches and staff got stuck. The Jaguars lost 26-23.
Their charter flight finally was cleared to leave at 1 a.m. EST and landed in Jacksonville two hours later. It delayed owner Shad Khan’s scheduled meeting with coach Doug Pederson to decide their path moving forward.
The Kansas City Chiefs avoided traveling in the storm by remaining overnight in Denver following their game against the Broncos.

‘It’s all gonna go great’: Pat McAfee, Colts fans react to Ballard, Steichen returning
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is as frustrated as the fans. He understands the desire for change. But he believes in his team’s leaders.
Irsay posted on social media Sunday night, saying Chris Ballard will remain general manager and coach Shane Steichen will remain coach for 2025. The Colts just finished an 8-9 season and they haven’t made the playoffs for four straight years.
Steichen has an 17-17 record in two seasons as coach. Ballard has been with the Colts for eight seasons. The Colts have gone 62-69-1 over that span with two playoff appearances and no division titles.
“I know fans who want an immediate change in leadership will be disappointed,” Irsay wrote. “That means we all have a lot to prove, so we’ll get back to work and keep doing what we can to earn your support and make you proud to be a Colts fan.”
Many Colts fans — notably former punter Pat McAfee — aren’t pleased.
