Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
A North Webster man is in custody for allegedly having an illegal methamphetamine lab after tips from neighbors helped lead the Kosciusko County Drug Task Force to his home.
Gregory Ray Flynn, 41, of 7220 E. Blacks Court, North Webster, was arrested for possession of legends or precursors and was booked into the Kosciusko County Jail at 11:20 a.m. Monday. His bond was set at $2,000 for the Class D felony.
Concerned residents in the area of Black's Trailer Court in North Webster informed the drug task force of an unusually strong chemical odor. During their investigation, officers were directed to Flynn's home.
Once inside, officers found a tank of anhydrous ammonia and other ingredients used to manufacture methamphetamine.
The information from local citizens is credited in the seizure of this illegal drug lab as well as several others in the community.
"Working with the residents of Kosciusko County in dealing with the illegal drug problem has grown tremendously in the last several months and is directly responsible for many of the drug arrests. The drug task force continues to encourage citizens of Kosciusko County to report suspicious activity in their neighborhood. The Kosciusko County Meth Watch Program is a joint venture to allow citizens and officers to work together to stop this type of illegal activity," said a press release from the Kosciusko County Special Operations Team Drug Task Force.
