Drug‑Free Vigo County treasurer requests local interdiction funds for prevention, treatment and law enforcement grants
Summary
Brandon Halleck, treasurer for Drug‑Free Vigo County, presented an annual appropriation request to distribute locally collected interdiction fees (statutory 75% local share) for prevention, treatment and law enforcement grants and said the account currently holds more than $85,000 though the appropriation being presented corresponds to the prior year’s collections.
Brandon Halleck, treasurer for Drug‑Free Vigo County, presented the council with the local coordinating council’s annual appropriation request for interdiction funds collected through court fees.
Halleck explained the statutory framework: a portion of certain court fees flows into a local fund, 75% of which stays in the county for grants while 25% is remitted to the Criminal Justice Institute at the state level. He said the local dollars fund prevention programs, treatment providers and law enforcement grants; examples offered included Team of Mercy, Mental Health America, Casey Family Links and Tobacco Free Vigo for prevention, and local drug‑court or counseling providers for treatment.
Halleck said the appropriation request is based on the dollars collected in 2025; at one point in the presentation he cited an amount of $75,027.10 as the collected sum for that purpose and also noted there is currently about $85,000 in the account including more recent collections. He said typical grants run roughly $1,500–$6,000 and are divided among prevention, treatment and law enforcement categories.
Next steps: The treasurer presented the appropriation request for council consideration; no formal council vote on the appropriation was recorded at this meeting.
