Multiple police agencies worked together on a two-week investigation that resulted in three meth-related arrests in North Webster Tuesday night. According to a release from the Indiana State Police, the ISP led investigations with the assistance of the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department, Warsaw Police Department, Winona Lake Police Department and the North Webster Police Department. State police and local officers served a search warrant at a North Webster home at 5489 N. CR 900E, Tuesday night. Inside, police found a multitude of paraphernalia, recently cooked meth and a 5-year-old child. State police arrested Skyler Jolee Cain, 38, and Joshua Howey, 30, residents at the home, on several meth-related charges. The 5-year-old child of Cain and Howey was removed from the home by police and is now in the care of the Department of Child Services. Both Cain and Howey face additional felony charges of neglect of a dependant. Cain was charged with manufacturing meth, operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated causing endangerment, refusal to submit to a chemical test, and has a $15,250 bond.
