The Clay County Sheriff’s Office in Indiana is actively searching for Thomas L. Miller, a 56-year-old resident of Poland, who remains at large on an outstanding arrest warrant. Miller is wanted in connection with serious narcotics offenses, specifically Dealing in Methamphetamine, classified as a Level 2 Felony, and Possession of Methamphetamine, classified as a Level 4 Felony. This pursuit is part of a broader, months-long investigation conducted by the agency’s Narcotics Division, which has targeted the distribution and dealing of illegal narcotics within Clay County and surrounding communities. While the primary focus of this report is the ongoing manhunt for Miller, the Sheriff’s Office also announced the recent resolution of several other cases stemming from the same investigative efforts. On September 1 and 2, 2026, seven additional individuals were either arrested or served with outstanding arrest warrants for similar methamphetamine-related charges. These include Shawn J. Vernon Riggle, Douglas Tisdale, Daniel Francis, John Daniel Pastrick Jr., Billie McNeal, Austin L. Nolte, and Jock Divine. Some of these suspects were apprehended while already incarcerated on unrelated matters, while others were taken into custody during active operations where narcotics were seized. The Clay County Sheriff’s Office emphasized that these actions were supported by a robust partnership with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Marshal Task Force, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, Indiana Conservation Officers, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Indiana High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area. The agency continues to urge the public to remain vigilant. Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Thomas L. Miller or knowledge of suspected narcotics activity is encouraged to contact Clay County Dispatch at 812-446-2535 or submit a tip through the Clay County Sheriff’s Office mobile app. The Sheriff’s Office highlights that community tips play a critical role in identifying ongoing criminal activity and keeping illegal drugs off the streets.
