Putnam County—On Monday afternoon, April 30, at 12:45 p.m., an Indiana State Police trooper from the Drug Enforcement Section stopped a Freightliner tractor pulling a box trailer for an equipment violation eastbound Interstate 70 near the 41 mile marker.

During the stop, information developed that led to a search of the tractor. The search yielded (27) white plastic cards, each containing stolen credit card information.  

The driver, 32-year-old Vage Gabriyelyan of Glendale, California, was incarcerated in the Putnam County Jail on felony charges of both Counterfeiting and Fraud. 

The tractor-trailer was transporting medical supplies from California to New Jersey.  

Under the Law, criminal charges are merely accusations and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
