A traffic stop on Tuesday led to the arrest of an Indianapolis man on multiple felony charges, including drug dealing and unlawful possession of a firearm, according to the Fishers Police Department.

Shortly after stopping a silver Chevrolet Malibu for traffic violations on May 20, a Fishers Police detective encountered the driver, later identified as Marcus Scaife. Initially, Scaife provided a false name, but eventually admitted to his real identity and acknowledged he was driving with a suspended license.

Police say K9 Rico conducted an open-air sniff around the vehicle and alerted officers to the presence of narcotics. A subsequent search of the vehicle revealed THC edibles, psilocybin mushrooms, marijuana, and a 9mm handgun. Scaife also admitted to having cocaine on his person.

Further investigation revealed that Scaife is a convicted felon and prohibited from possessing a firearm. Additionally, officers determined that the alleged drug offenses took place within 100 feet of a drug treatment facility.

Scaife faces several charges, including:

• Unlawful carrying of a handgun with a felony conviction within the past 15 years

• Dealing in cocaine (10 or more grams)

• Dealing in a narcotic drug (between 5–10 grams, near a drug treatment facility)

• Identity deception

• Possession of marijuana with a prior drug offense conviction
