Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Four adults were arrested and one juvenile was charged in connection with a drug raid Tuesday afternoon in Warsaw.
Acting on tips from concerned citizens, the Kosciusko County Drug Task Force served a search warrant at 18 Henderson Drive on the southwest side of the city.
Police reportedly found several ounces of cocaine and methamphetamine inside the residence, as well as drug paraphernalia and items associated with drug dealing, according to a press release.
Arrested were:
• Michelle Martinez, 24, of 18 Henderson Drive, Warsaw, charged with dealing cocaine, a Class A felony. Bond was set at $20,000.
• Angela Conley, 27, of 18 Henderson Drive, Warsaw, charged with possession of cocaine, a Class B felony. Bond was set at $10,000.
• Martin Mulder Jr., 19, of 18 Henderson Drive, Warsaw, charged with visiting a common nuisance, a Class D felony. Bond was set at $250.
• Michael Stork, 21, of 9387 E. Kiser Lake Drive, North Webster, charged with visiting a common nuisance. Bond was set at $250.
Also charged with visiting a common nuisance was a 17-year-old male. He was released to his parents' custody.
Police said numerous complaints about alleged illegal drug activity at the Henderson Drive residence were received by the drug task force during the past few months.
"These arrests today are again a direct result of the citizens of Kosciusko County providing information to the drug task force," said Kosciusko County Sheriff Aaron Rovenstine. "This type of cooperation shows that the citizens are tired of drugs in their neighborhoods."
Assisting the task force with the search and arrests were members of the Kosciusko County SWAT Team, Warsaw Police Department and Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department.
