ISP Meth Suppression Team arrests four at Greencastle residence
Acting on tips received from the general public, as well as other investigative measures, the Putnamville District Methamphetamine Suppression Team Tuesday afternoon arrested four Greencastle suspects, ranging in age from 18 to 69.
Just before 2:30 p.m., members of the Methamphetamine Suppression Team arrived at a 9 E. Liberty St. residence in Greencastle, armed with a Putnam County search warrant.
During further investigation, Indiana State Police troopers found numerous items associated with the possible manufacture and distribution of methamphetamine and marijuana.
