A pair of Culver women face multiple felony charges in Marshall County after police officers from three departments followed up on a tip about a stolen car and a woman with an outstanding warrant. On Friday officers from the Indiana State Police, Culver Police and Marshall County Sheriff’s Department checked 624 Forest Place, Apartment 3A in Culver and found the stolen 2002 Chevrolet Malibu in the parking lot. They spoke to a resident of the apartment, Courtney M. Owens, 25. She gave them permission to search the apartment for the fugitive. Officers found Kayla J. Belue, 24, hiding under a bed, according to information provided by the Indiana State Police. The officers got a search warrant for the apartment and reportedly found foil bundles that field-tested positive for heroin, baggies that field-tested positive for methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. The apartment is located within a federal housing complex, which elevates the seriousness of the charges. Both Belue and Owens were arrested and face multiple felony charges, including possession of methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a federal housing complex, possession of a narcotic and possession of stolen property.
