Logansport police arrested two people after finding marijuana in a home on the city’s west side.
The search for a man wanted for an alleged probation violation led officers to a residence at 125 W. Miami Ave. just after 9 p.m. Wednesday. Inside, police reportedly spotted a marijuana smoking device in plain sight.
After securing a search warrant, K-9 Hodo found a stash of pre-packaged marijuana and several pieces of paraphernalia inside the home, according to police reports.
Police arrested the lease holder, 27-year-old Marnetta Darlene Antunez of Logansport, on charges of maintaining a common nuisance and possession of more than 30 grams of marijuana.
Police also arrested 25-year-old Jonathon Lee Elpers, who was the man wanted by the probation department. Elpers, of Logansport, was arrested on charges of probation violation, visiting a common nuisance and dealing in marijuana.
