Region filler image

Bloomington police discovered a Taurus .357 Magnum, a Marlon .22-caliber semi-automatic long rifle and a J. Stevens double barrel shotgun in the home of Joshua Wilbur at approximately 11 a.m. Wednesday.

Indiana State Police obtained a search warrant after receiving a report from a credible source of possible illegal activity from Wilbur. However, ISP were unable to execute the warrant at the time, so BPD executed the warrant and searched Wilbur’s home.

All of the weapons were discovered in Wilbur’s bedroom. The weapons were not hidden or concealed and were lying in the bedroom.

At the time of the search, Wilbur was in open court. Community corrections had called him in to investigate after a credible source called in to them.

Wilbur was convicted for dealing methamphetamine in 2013, according to BPD records. Now, after the discovery of weapons in his residence, he has been remanded on new charges of weapon offense.
