The Marshall County Drug Task Force, assisted by Net43, LaPaz Police, Marshall County Police, Plymouth Police, and Indiana State Police, executed a search warrant in LaPaz Wednesday morning. During the operation, officers recovered evidence of suspected methamphetamine and methamphetamine use within the home, as well as a firearm.
A child was removed from the home by the Indiana Department of Child Services.
Officers arrested 38-year-old Kathleen Burkett and 53-year-old Michael Heims, both of LaPaz. They were booked into the Marshall County Jail with charges of possession of methamphetamine, maintaining a common nuisance, and neglect of a dependent.
Both Burkett and Heims are being held on $1,500 cash bonds.
Readers are reminded that charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is merely an allegation that a crime has been committed and that there is only probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. They are presumed innocent throughout the proceedings and are entitled to be represented by counsel and entitled to a trial by jury at which the State is obligated to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt before a judgment of guilt may be made.
