A Warsaw woman was arrested Saturday on drug-related charges with two children in her car. Janet A. Combs, 42, was stopped by the state police in her pickup truck on U.S. 30 near Parker Street, Warsaw, for running a traffic light. Indiana State Police Lt. Chad Larsh soon discovered after talking to Combs that she was acting abnormal and showing signs of drug and alcohol impairment, according to a press release from the Indiana State Police. Combs was driving on a suspended driver’s license and had her two boys, ages 10 and 12, with her. After speaking with Combs, Larsh noticed drug paraphernalia in the driver’s area as well as items that are associated with drug use in Combs’ possession, the press release states. She claimed that she had borrowed the truck to take her two boys to the movies. Larsh also found a black bag in the bed of the truck during the vehicle inventory for impound. The bag contained an active one-pot meth lab and other items associated with methamphetamine manufacturing, the release states. Combs was taken to Kosciusko Community Hospital after a search warrant was obtained giving permission to obtain her blood and urine for analysis. Combs remains in the Kosciusko County Jail for possession of methamphetamine, manufacturing methamphetamine and driving while suspended. Pending the outcome of the blood and urine tests, Combs may face additional charges.
