Two Knox residents were arrested on drug charges after a month-long investigation conducted by investigators from the Starke County Sheriff’s Office.
Police say they found 31-year-old Matthew Bradley hiding in a residence in the 3,000 S. block of 100 W. in North Judson on Tuesday, Aug 15. Bradley was detained along with 25-year-old Haley Marshall after methamphetamine-related items were found inside the room where Bradley was found, according to the report.
Officers called the homeowner and consent to search the residence was granted. Police say methamphetamine precursors, methamphetamine residue and paraphernalia were found in the bedroom the pair share.
Police reportedly found a back pack in the woods behind the residence that contained ingredients to manufacture methamphetamine.
Bradley and Marshall were arrested on preliminary charges of dealing methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine, possession of precursors, and paraphernalia. Both are being held in the Starke County Jail with no bond.
