A Walkerton man was arrested in Knox on an outstanding warrant, and a subsequent investigation led to further drug-related charges for John Kwiatkowski. On Wednesday, an officer with the Starke County Sheriff’s Department conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle on U.S. 35 in Knox. Kwiatkowski, a passenger in the vehicle, was found to have an outstanding warrant for his arrest through St. Joseph County.
