LEESBURG - An anonymous tip this morning led to the arrest of a Warsaw man wanted on drug charges.
Tony Randall Schock, 39, of 2509 E. Center St. Apartment 6, Warsaw, was taken into custody around 8 a.m. today after police received an anonymous tip that he was in a mobile home at Whispering Pines Trailer Court south of Leesburg.
Kosciusko County Cpl. Chris Rager took Schock into custody without incident after Schock left a mobile home. When he was arrested this morning, Schock reportedly had pseudophedrine pills in his possession.
The Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department was looking for Schock after a methamphetamine lab reportedly was found Tuesday in his residence in Hart Plaza Apartments, which are behind Papa John's Pizza in Warsaw.
Police received an anonymous tip about methamphetamine and went to Schock's apartment to investigate.
When undercover officers arrived at the apartment, Schock said he was going to get the apartment manager and then fled the scene.
Inside the apartment, officers from the Kosciusko County Drug Task Force found an HCL generator as well as finished methamphetamine in the bathroom of the residence.
Another person, Megan Leigh Slone, 20, of 5397 W. Turner Road, Claypool, also was in the apartment when police arrived. She was arrested and booked into the Kosciusko County Jail for dealing methamphetamine, a Class A felony, and is being held on $100,000 bond.
After officers found the methamphetamine, the Indiana State Police Clandestine Lab Team was called to the scene, and officers from the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department searched the area surrounding the apartment for Schock.
Upon further investigation, police learned the Schock had an outstanding warrant for probation violation related to a burglary arrest.
Police obtained a warrant for Schock's arrest for felony dealing methamphetamine from the Kosciusko County Prosecutor's Office Tuesday, and that warrant was executed this morning.
Schock was booked into the Kosciusko County Jail for dealing methamphetamine, a Class A felony, and is being held on $100,000 bond.
