Officers conducted a search of the vehicle and discovered a plastic straw containing a white residue that tested positive for methamphetamine. Davis advised she was in possession of methamphetamine. A plastic bag containing white residue was located on Davis’ person. Davis said the meth belonged to both her and Cone.
Both Cone and Davis have been arrested and released on their own recognizances. Both have an initial hearing at 8:15 a.m. Jan. 3, 2019, in Kosciusko Circuit Court.
