Johnny Mullens has been charged with felony counts of Dealing in Methamphetamine, Neglect of a Dependent, Possession Precursors or Chemical Reagents, and Possession of Methamphetamine, plus misdemeanor counts of Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Paraphernalia. A plea of not guilty was entered and his initial bond of $25,000 was raised to $50,000 surety.
Mullens and Amber Lain were arrested March 1 after Starke County officers served a search warrant for narcotics at a trailer at 3395 S. 200 E. in Knox. Police reportedly found methamphetamine, precursors, marijuana, syringes and an active meth lab within the reach of a toddler during the search warrant.
Lain is facing a charge in Knox City Court for Overpurchase of Pseudoephedrine and faces additional charges of Conspiracy to Manufacture Methamphetamine and Neglect of a Dependent. She has since bonded out of the Starke County Jail.
