EDINBURGH, Ind. — A 30-year old Danville man was arrested at the Hoosier Horse Park over the weekend for violation of a protective order and drug possession.
Around 11 a.m. Sunday, Johnson County deputies responded to a warrant investigation at the horse shoe area. A witness told police Shawn Passwater was asked to leave and told he was not allowed around his wife and son. Passwater told the witness he didn’t care about the police and intended to see his son.
The deputy verified the order and located Passwater on the grounds. Passwater told police he only wanted to see his son from a distance and did not plan to approach him or the mother. At that time the deputy placed Passwater under arrest. A search revealed a small baggie with a white substance that later tested positive for methamphetamine. Passwater was charged with invasion of privacy and possession of methamphetamine. While at the jail Passwater attempted to contact the mother of his son, that resulted in an additional charge of invasion of privacy.
