MISHAWAKA — Police arrested an Elkhart man Wednesday night who they believe was preparing to manufacture meth.

A caller alerted officers to a possible intoxicated driver on Fourth Street in Mishawaka, and police followed the vehicle to the 7-Eleven at the corner of Milburn and Logan streets about 8:10 p.m.

In the store’s parking lot, police said, they found the man inside his vehicle with an unregistered firearm and items used to manufacture meth.

The Indiana State Police’s clandestine lab team was called to the scene, and, police said, investigators found meth, cocaine and Valium inside the vehicle. They also found meth and marijuana on the man.

Police say the 25-year-old Elkhart man was arrested, accused of manufacturing meth within 200 yards of a school, possessing two or more precursors for the manufacture of meth, possession of illegal drugs and carrying a handgun without a license. The man was taken to the St. Joseph County Jail.
