In Indiana - A 26-year-old man was arrested on Meth manufacturing charges and witness intimidation.  Both charges are felonies. The suspect allegedly intimidated and threatened witnesses in a Meth lab investigation in a barn.  The charges follow an investigation stemming from an explosion in the barn.  Officers discovered evidence of an active Meth lab inside the structure.

In Minnesota - A teenage runaway was scheduled to be the first witness called in the trial of a 46-year-old man facing felony sexual assault charges.  The girl, who was 15-year-old at the time of the alleged crimes, told investigators the suspect bartered Meth for sex with her at least twice.  The trial of the man accused of trading the girl to the defendant in exchange for Meth has been delayed because that man, 36-years-old, is hospitalized. He is a friend of the older man and the owner of the house where the crimes allegedly occurred, faces five felonies, including soliciting a child for prostitution. 

In Illinois - Three more people have been arrested in connection with Meth manufacturing in a home that was raided earlier in July.  A 24-year-old man was arrested during a traffic stop for alleged Meth conspiracy, possession of Meth within 1,000-feet of public housing, and Meth waste. The driver of the car, a 31-year-old man, was given notice to appear for alleged Meth conspiracy. And a 23-year-old man was given a notice to appear for alleged Meth conspiracy following his earlier arrest. Deputies believe one of the men was among the four people present at the home when the Meth was being cooked.  One man admitted to giving two of the other a ride to steal anhydrous ammonia. Two other men, both 20-years-old, were arrested earlier.
