His passenger, Sarah Kochner, 29, also of Marshall, was arrested for three counts of Neglect of a Dependent, Possession of Marijuana, and Possession of Paraphernalia.
A second vehicle, which stopped at the scene during the initial investigation, contained passenger Angelica Holley, 31, of Herlong, California. Deputies discovered methamphetamine in her possession, leading to her arrest on a charge of Possession of Methamphetamine.
The Parke County Sheriff’s Office noted that any potential federal firearm charges would be forwarded to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) for review.
