According to the affidavit of probable cause the Warsaw Police Department responded to a physical fight on Sept. 14. Officers arrived to see a male, Konkle, holding a small child and a female walking southbound. The female advised that they were verbally arguing and when she went to walk away Konkle grabbed her non-aggressively by the waist.

Officers were advised by dispatch that Konkle was known to carry a knife. Officers requested Konkle put the child down and conducted a pat down. In Konkle’s cargo pocket officers found a syringe and a silver container Konkle admitted contained methamphetamine.

At the jail, officers searched Konkle and found two small baggies containing a brown rock-like substance that tested positive for heroin, a schedule I narcotic.

Konkle stated he had forgotten about the heroin and turned it over once he remembered.

Konkle is being held at Kosciusko County Jail with a bond of $5,250 and no bond.
