Winchester man faces dealing, firearm charges
WINCHESTER, Ind. — A Winchester man faces drug and firearm-related charges stemming from a report to dispatchers that a threat had been made at his home.
Garrett Robinson Moore, 28, was charged last week in Randolph Circuit Court with dealing in meth, unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, possession of meth, pointing a firearm and unlawful possession of a syringe.
According to court documents, Winchester police on Aug. 28 were sent to a mobile home on Amanda Drive after receiving a report that one man there had threatened to shoot another.
Officers determined the home was that of Moore, and while conducting a "protective sweep" observed items "consistent with dealing in what appeared to be methamphetamine."
After obtaining a warrant to search the trailer, authorities seized substances believed to be meth and fentanyl, along with a bag containing pills determined to be a prescription pain medication. Also confiscated were a .22-caliber handgun and several hypodermic syringes.

Moore's record includes convictions for dealing in meth and theft.
