Greenfield dad accused of buying 16-year-old son guns, drugs

[KellyinAvon]

Almost posted something when the story first broke (sounded like a drug deal gone bad in Greenfield.) Paul Harvey (the rest of the story) really came through here.

GREENFIELD, Ind. — After a shooting in Greenfield that hospitalized a 16-year-old boy on Sunday, Police Chief Brian Hartman revealed that for months now his department has been investigating a group that has been linked to the purchase and sale of illegal firearms and drugs.

Chief Hartman said that the investigation has led to the seizure of six illegal guns, 20 search warrants served and numerous arrests.

One of those arrests was a 37-year-old Greenfield man named Eric Schenk, who was arrested last week. The Hancock County Prosecutor filed formal criminal charges against Schenk on Monday.

Investigators say Schenk purchased guns, ammunition and machine gun conversion devices for his 16-year-old son.

The investigation into Schenk began when a stolen handgun was recovered from a juvenile in a separate case. That juvenile told police he bought the gun from a 20-year-old man who told police he got it from Schenk’s 16-year-old son.

“Investigators say Schenk purchased guns, ammunition and machine gun conversion devices for his 16-year-old son”

So where does it say the father bought Drugs for his son?

“The messages detail very clearly that not only was Eric Schenk aware that [his son] had firearm(s) and was involved in narcotics and nicotine use, but that Eric Schenk provided items to [his son] and purchased them for him,” investigators wrote in a probable cause affidavit.

More gun laws and 'illegal' ... how does this work? These forks don't follow any laws

Yeah the details are interesting and vague… the charges will be interesting.

My dad never bought me guns and cigarettes. I feel jipped.

Wait, I just took them anyway. Nevermind.

Schenk was arrested after his interview with police and was booked into the Hancock County Jail. He faces three felony counts including neglect of a dependent and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Its on MyCase now, the third one is 35-47-10-7 Permitting a child to possess a firearm while aware of a substantial risk of using it to commit a felony. Today I learned about that law.

Nothing for straw purchase or the conversion device. The nature of charges against the minor is, of course, redacted.

It says he bought the son Vape's and drug paraphernalia.
I'm curious what "conversion" he bought.

I didn't need my dad to buy my cigarettes, I got them from the vending machine at the snack shop.

My dad did buy me a H&R single shot 16 ga shotgun from Kmart for my 10th birthday in 1972.

Haven't looked at these types of charges before on mycase, but would the straw purchase and conversion device be federal and if so, do those show up on mycase, since it's specific to Indiana?

Just curious myself, but would hope they would charge with everything they could (and fully prosecute it all as well)

That's why they were arrested.

Yep, we had a bowling alley in the neighborhood, that place had 4 or 5 cigarette machines.

My dad would even send me to the little neighborhood grocery to buy him cigarettes. I got the bright idea once to buy a pack for myself there, when I told the old grocery guy what brand I wanted, he gave me a serious look and goes “that ain’t what your daddy smokes”.
I never attempted that again.
