Two Arrested After Meth Lab Fire

Posted
Two Milford men were arrested Wednesday for the alleged involvement with a house fire that involved a working meth lab.

Michael Foster Richardson, 22, of 310 Heidi Lane, Milford, was arrested for dealing methamphetamine and possession of paraphernalia.

Richardson is currently being held on a $20,350 bond.

Richardson's arrest follows the Aug. 8 arrest of Jacinto Jack Salazar, 27, of 119 E. North St., Milford.

Salazar was arrested with dealing a controlled substance, restricted sale of ephedrine and a felony failure to appear. Salazar's bond was set at $20,000 and he is still at Kosciusko County Jail.

Both men are believed to have caused a house fire at 203 E. Williams St., Milford, Aug. 8 because of a meth lab that was inside the home.

Kosciusko County Drug Task Force assisted the Milford Police Department in the investigation, along with the Milford Fire Department and Indiana State Police.
