A man in Indiana turned himself in after he reportedly set fire to his home with the alleged intent of using the insurance money to help lighten his distress over his burdensome financial load.

Currently, many people are finding it increasingly difficult to make ends meet, and for some, the state of affairs has caused a great deal of stress and anxiety. It was reported that a 29-year-old man from Winchester, a town located about 70 miles from Indianapolis, which approximately 5,000 people call home, was greatly affected by his financial situation, which had been going on for years. He reportedly tried to overcome it using a method he had allegedly tried before, but this time it led to criminal charges.

On his way out the door for work on September 25, the man, who was reportedly experiencing mounting pressure from credit card debt, tried to set the laundry room in his house on fire with the alleged hope that it would burn down the dwelling. According to reports, he intended to collect the insurance money and use it to handle the bills. When the insurance company learned about the fire, they began investigating. Approximately one month later, the man went to the Winchester Police Department and said he wanted to turn himself in.

Three people in northwest Florida were arrested on multiple charges after a years-long, multi-agency investigation led the authorities to believe they trafficked over a hundred pounds of drugs out of a privately owned pharmacy.

At the end of 2020, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office, the Florida Highway Patrol, the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and several other agencies started investigating Pace Pharmacy when they suspected the business was being used as a pill mill. The pharmacy is owned by a 54-year-old pharmacist and his 58-year-old wife, who works as the office manager. A second man, age 69, is employed as a pharmacist at the location.

The authorities believed that the business was providing large quantities of illicit substances to people who did not have a medical need for them and illegally billed insurance companies to cover the cost. During the investigation, it was asserted that the alleged pill mill moved more than 48 pounds of oxycodone, 57 pounds of hydrocodone, and approximately two pounds of hydromorphone.
