LEESBURG – Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department deputies arrested two individuals Monday after discovering a meth lab inside a Leesburg home. KCSD drug task force officers were executing active warrants Monday morning in the 300 block of Smith Street, Leesburg, where they discovered various methamphetamine labs inside the residence. Officers were attempting to serve active felony warrants on Thomas O. Rensberger, 36, Leesburg, and Kira Margaret Tuttle, 30, Warsaw. Once inside the home, officers immediately noted a strong odor commonly associated with the production of methamphetamine and subsequently located two active and 18 spent one-pot meth labs inside the home. Officers immediately placed both subjects into custody and removed them from the residence as they summoned the Indiana State Police Clandestine Lab Team due to the strong fumes. The Leesburg Plain Township Fire Department also responded to the scene as a precautionary measure. Rensberger was arrested and preliminarily charged with felony manufacturing methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine precursors and two counts of felony possession of methamphetamine. His bond was set at $20,000. Tuttle also was arrested and preliminarily charged with one felony count of possession of methamphetamine less than three grams and one felony count of possession of methamphetamine more than three grams. Her bond was set at $35,000.
