CROMWELL, Ind. — Police are thankful for the concern of neighbors, after complaints of a strong odor led to an arrest Wednesday of a married couple who had a meth lab in their home.

A Kosciusko County deputy sheriff responded to a residence on Seneca Lane, where he determined the odor was the result of methamphetamine production.

The Kosciusko County Drug Task Force obtained permission to search the home, finding equipment and products to make meth.

Leon Thomas Bontrager, 24, and Heather Diane Bontrager, 22, were arrested and preliminarily charged with felony possession of an illegal drug/methamphetamine lab. Each has a separate bond set at $2,000.

Police urge citizens to provide information about illegal activities by calling the Drug Task Force Tip Line at 574-372-2494.
