Meth-related incidents in both Whitley and Kosciusko counties resulted in the arrest of five individuals over the weekend.
Jason Foster Sizemore, 34, Warsaw, was arrested and charged with dealing methamphetamine, possession of precursors and visiting a common nuisance.
Officers also located the other alleged suspect from Whitley County, Trever R. Hanlon, 36, Claypool, this morning at a home on North Parker Street, Warsaw, and charged him with manufacturing methamphetamine, and maintaining a common nuisance.
Three other individuals were arrested at the home as well: Marisa Yvonne Hanlon, 39, Claypool; James Douglas Cable, 40, North Webster; and Gary William Golday, 44, Warsaw. All three individuals were charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and maintaining a common nuisance.
The Kosciusko County Prosecutor’s Office has not yet set bond on the individuals as of this morning. Kosciusko County Drug Task Force and Whitley County Sheriff’s Department members stated that more charges are possible after prosecutors in both counties review the incidents.
Whitley County Sheriff’s Deputies responded Friday at 2:08 p.m. to the area of Ind. 5 near the intersection of Old Trail Road outside of Larwill regarding a vehicle on fire. Prior to the officers’ arrival, two male subjects had fled the area north of Whitko Middle School.
According to Whitley County officers, a portable methamphetamine lab had exploded inside the vehicle as the occupants were driving. The suspects then removed personal clothing that was on fire and discarded them into an adjoining field that eventually also caught fire.
Sizemore was picked up and transported to Kosciusko Community Hospital for treatment, but eventually fled from the emergency room as officers were summoned. Law enforcement received a tip that he might be at his mother’s house.
He was eventually located and taken into custody by Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Deputies at his mother’s residence on Runkle Drive, near Leesburg.
Sizemore was transported to the Whitley County Jail where he is being held on a $50,000 bond.
Kosciusko County Drug Task Force officers received a tip Sunday on the location of a possible meth lab at the address of 411 N. Parker St., Warsaw. Responding officers from the Kosciusko Drug Task Force and Warsaw Police Department located four individuals along with one-pot method methamphetamine labs and finished methamphetamine. Officers also located the other alleged suspect from Whitley County, Hanlon. Also located at the residence was Hanlon’s wife, Marisa Hanlon, Cable and Golday.
Assisting in both investigations were members of the Whitley and Kosciusko County Prosecutor’s Office, Larwill Fire Department, Warsaw Police Department, Whitley County Sheriff’s Department, Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department and Whitley and Kosciusko County Drug Task Force units.
