Four men have been arrested following a narcotics and sex crimes operation conducted by the Fort Wayne Police Department (FWPD) at Swinney Park on the city’s west side. The arrests came during an evening patrol on Tuesday as officers investigated ongoing complaints of lewd behavior and suspected drug activity in the area.

The operation was led by FWPD’s Vice and Narcotics Division, which focused on public indecency and illegal drug-related conduct in response to multiple reports from concerned citizens. The department confirmed that four individuals were taken into custody during the patrol.

The arrested men have been identified as 60-year-old Johnnye Darryl Love of Fort Wayne, 60-year-old Kenneth Lee Kelley of Waterloo, 60-year-old Greig Allyn Hutchens of Huntington, and 52-year-old Scott Lin Truelove of Laotto. Each man is facing a preliminary charge of public indecency.

FWPD stated that its Vice and Narcotics Division had been actively patrolling Swinney Park after receiving several complaints of lewd acts taking place in the public space. The department did not release specific details about the nature of the alleged conduct or whether any narcotics were recovered during the operation.

Targeted Patrol

The Tuesday evening sweep is part of an ongoing initiative by law enforcement to address unlawful behavior in public areas. While FWPD did not elaborate on the length or scope of the surveillance, the arrests mark a clear response to community concerns over safety and proper use of city parks.

All four men were arrested at the scene and are expected to face further legal proceedings. The preliminary charge of public indecency in Indiana is classified as a misdemeanor offense.

No additional suspects were named, and no further details have been provided regarding potential future operations or whether this particular patrol was part of a broader enforcement campaign.

As of now, FWPD has not made any public comments or provided statements beyond the release of the arrest information.

The incident underscores the department’s continued efforts to maintain public order in recreational areas and respond to resident complaints. Swinney Park, located on Fort Wayne’s west side, is a well-known city park often frequented by families and local residents.

All suspects remain presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. As the legal process unfolds, further updates are expected.
