Posted
ETNA GREEN – An Etna Green couple were arrested and their child placed in state care after their meth lab was discovered  Tuesday afternoon.
Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department deputies arrived at 9556 W. Old 30 in Etna Green Tuesday at approximately 3:43 p.m. in an attempt to serve an active warrant. Deputies met an unnamed resident of the house who informed them of what appeared to be an active one-pot meth lab.
Kosciusko County Drug Task Force officers responded and located two other individuals inside the residence, identified as Kayla Anne Waltz, 25, Etna Green, and Eric Michael Graham, 28, Warsaw, along with a four-year-old child.
During their investigation, officers  located precursors commonly used in the production of meth discarded in an outside burn barrel.  Waltz and Graham were subsequently both arrested and preliminarily charged with felony possession of a chemical reagent and/or precursors with intent to manufacture methamphetamine.  
Waltz was also arrested on an outstanding active warrant for criminal conversion. She is currently being held in the Kosciusko County Jail with a $12,000 bond.  
Graham is also being held in KCJ with a $2,000 bond. The four-year-old is in the care of the Indiana Department of Child Services.
