ISP arrest 5 in meth lab investigation

HENRY CO., Ind. - Investigators say around 8:30 p.m. Friday night, Pendleton Troopers served a search warrant on a rural Henry County home at 1040 North County Road 900 East.

The warrant was a result of an investigation by the State Police Meth Suppression Unit regarding a possible meth lab inside the home.  When officers walked into the home, they found the ingredients and tools used in the making of methamphetamine.  Troopers arrested 5 people in the home for possession of precursors used in the manufacture of methamphetamine, Class “D” Felony.
 
Arrested was Jay E. Johnson, age 39, Jean Smith, age 33 and Cheryl K. Collins, age 49, all of the 1040 N. CR 900 East address.  Troopers also arrested Jeremy A. Nunley, age 40 of Losantville and Nicole Lang age 22, of Hagerstown.

All five are in the Henry County Jail.  The Henry County Sheriff’s Department helped troopers at the scene.  Troopers continue to check Pseudoephedrine sales logs at retailers that sell the drug, and they continue to follow up on tips received from the public.
