Back in February, TPSO Narcotics detectives began investigating activity at a home on Bennett Road in Roseland following citizen complaints. Through surveillance and investigative efforts, the team confirmed illegal drugs including meth, heroin and fentanyl were being sold at the location.

Several weeks later, TPSO Narcotics detectives, assisted by the Hammond Police Department, served a case-related arrest warrant on the elder Gunter at the home, who already had outstanding narcotics-related warrants. During the arrest, detectives discovered suspected heroin/fentanyl, methamphetamine, marijuana, and evidence of drug distribution. In addition, detectives found a loaded rifle.
