A reportedly homeless man from Cromwell has been arrested on methamphetamine charges.
Kosciusko County Drug Task Force officers responded Tuesday afternoon at approximately 2 p.m. to 9581 Pixie Parkway, Cromwell, after a tip of possible methamphetamine activity.
Officers found William Frederick McMahan, 50, address listed as “homeless”, living inside a large boat in the yard of the residence. 
DTF officers also located a working meth lab inside the boat as well as manufactured methamphetamine.  Officers called the Indiana State Police Clandestine Lab team and located a second meth lab in a shed on the property. 
McMahan was arrested and preliminarily charged with felony possession and manufacturing methamphetamine. 
The Kosciusko County prosecutor's office is reviewing the charges before determining McMahan's bond this morning.
The Kosciusko County Drug Task Force consists of officers from Warsaw, Syracuse, and the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department that work as a multi-agency unit to combat the usage and sale of illegal and illicit drugs.
