LEESBURG - A Leesburg man is in custody after police seized an alleged methamphetamine laboratory at his residence Monday evening.
Jeromi Jay Beans, 26, of 6939 E. CR 500N, Leesburg, was charged with manufacturing a controlled substance and possession of two or more chemical precursors with the intent to manufacture. He also was served with a warrant for probation violation. Beans is being held in the Kosciusko County Jail on $15,000 bond.
According to a press release from the Kosciusko County Drug Task Force, police received information of a possible meth lab at that residence. The property was under surveillance for a short time before Beans came home.

Assisting at the scene were personnel from North Webster and Warsaw police departments and North Webster Fire Department.
Kosciusko County Sheriff Aaron Rovenstine said this investigation is part of an ongoing effort to stop the illegal flow of drugs in Kosciusko County.
