On Monday, August 10, 2026, Detective James Ford served the indictment on Adam McRay at a residence in Marion County. Mr. McRay was subsequently arrested and lodged in the Marion County Detention Center.
The investigation remains ongoing and is being led by Detective Ford. Additional charges are potentially forthcoming in other counties.
