Two Busted On Cocaine Charges On Tuesday evening, Warsaw Police Department officers received information regarding several people involved in the sale and use of cocaine.
Officers engaged in a conversation with two of the subjects identified, who facilitated the sale of cocaine to an undercover officer at an apartment near downtown Warsaw.
As a result of the sale, the two persons were arrested: Daulton DeWayne Klink, 20, of 409 N. Park Ave., Warsaw, and Coty Michael Haynes, 21, of 542 Lincoln Highway, Bourbon.
Both were booked into the Kosciusko County Jail Tuesday on preliminary charges of dealing in cocaine, a Class A felony.
The charges were enhanced because the apartment was within 1,000 feet of Rarick Park. There were no bonds set.
The case will be reviewed by the Kosciusko County Prosecutor’s Office. Further arrests are likely by WPD.
Klink and Haynes remained in the Kosciusko County Jail as of press time today.
