Two major drug busts in Gary led to two arrests and one police officer needing to receive a dose of Narcan.

Gary police said it's proof of how dangerous the job is.The first drug bust led the Narcotics Unit Detectives to a dealer that lived on Harrison Street in Merrillville, Ind. The suspect was allegedly supplying cocaine to people living in Gary. On March 26, John Ebler was taken into custody and charged with two felony counts for dealing cocaine. He has since bonded out. Another man, described as a "violent felon" by Gary police, was also taken into custody. Ronald Jeffries Jr.

"We did recover 42 grams of heroin inside the residence," said Commander Jack Hamady. "As SWAT was making entry into the residence, he was cooking the crack cocaine in the kitchen area. He tried to discard the crack cocaine and flush it.""He threw some heroin up on a cabinet and this is where it got a little dicey. One of our officers went up to try to locate the item that was discarded.
