substances shall be deemed a public nuisance. No person shall keep
or maintain such a public nuisance.

Attorney General, Circuit Attorney or Prosecuting Attorney may, in
addition to any criminal prosecutions, prosecute a suit in equity
to enjoin the public nuisance. If the court finds that the owner of
the room, building, structure or inhabitable structure knew that the
premises were being used for the illegal use, keeping or selling of
controlled substances, the court may order that the premises shall
not be occupied or used for such period as the court may determine,
not to exceed one (1) year.

persons, including owners, lessees, officers, agents, inmates or employees,
aiding or facilitating such a nuisance may be made defendants in any
suit to enjoin the nuisance.

In addition to any other criminal prosecutions, the Prosecuting Attorney
or Circuit Attorney may by information or indictment charge the owner
or the occupant, or both the owner and the occupant of the room, building,
structure or inhabitable structure, with the crime of keeping or maintaining
a public nuisance. Keeping or maintaining a public nuisance is a Class
C felony.
