Two people were arrested Wednesday night after Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Deputies tried to serve a search warrant. Judy Jackson, department spokeswoman, says that just before 11:30 p.m., Deputy Leah Burton was attempting to serve a warrant on 34-year-old David Hadley, of Edinburgh. She made contact with Amber Halstead, who allegedly said that Hadley was not in the home.

Deputies Brent Worman and Jarod Aspenson arrived to assist. While searching the home, the deputies located a trap door near the attic. They entered the attic and found Hadley under the insulation.

Hadley, who authorities say was wanted on outstanding warrants out of Johnson County, was arrested on a preliminary charge of Violation of a Protective Order. He is being held in the Bartholomew County Jail without bond.

Halstead was arrested on preliminary charges of False Reporting and Obstruction of Justice. She has since been released.
