EDINBURGH, Ind. - The Edinburgh Police Department (EPD) executed a narcotics search warrant in the 400 block of Morris Street in Edinburgh on Saturday, February 28.   

Officers located three adult subjects and one child inside the home. During the search, they encountered 41-year-old Misty Neese, a renter at the residence. EPD supposedly found approximately 150 grams of methamphetamine on her person.

The suspect was arrested for Dealing Meth, Possession of Meth, and Possession of a Narcotic drug (Fentanyl). A total of about 160 grams of narcotics was allegedly recovered from the house.   

A male occupant, Andrew Burroughs, 33, was taken into custody for an unrelated Burglary investigation.
