Drug bust notches 18th arrest

LaGrange, IND. (WANE) - Police in LaGrange County have arrested an 18th suspect in connection to Tuesday night's drug warrant sweep.

Russell Lewis, Sr., 47, of LaGrange, was arrested Wednesday on charges of dealing and manufacturing meth.

The other suspects are all from LaGrange, Wolcottville and Howe.

They range in age from 18 to 48 and all face marijuana and meth charges.

Concerned neighbors played a key role in the police investigation.

The Sheriff says rounding up this group puts a big dent in meth use and production in the county, but there's more work to be done.
