Meth Labs Found In Leesburg Home
Two people were arrested Monday after Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Deputies discovered a meth lab inside a Leesburg home.
Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department drug task force officers were executing active warrants Monday morning in the 300 block of Smith Street, Leesburg, when they discovered various methamphetamine labs inside the residence. KCSD officers were attempting to serve active felony warrants on Thomas O. Rensberger, 36, Leesburg; and Kira Margaret Tuttle, 30, Warsaw.
Once inside the dwelling, officers immediately noted the strong odor commonly associated with the production of methamphetamine. A subsequent search located two active and 18 spent one-pot method meth labs inside the home.
Officers immediately took 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 was also arrested and preliminarily charged with one felony count of possession of methamphetamine less than 3 grams and one felony count of possession of methamphetamine more than 3 grams. Her bond was set at $35,000.
