Two people were arrested on drug charges after suspicious vehicles were seen overnight at a Jonesville Road business last week.

The Bartholomew County Sheriff’s department reports that a deputy noticed a vehicle behind the business in the 6000 block of South Jonesville Road at just before midnight Thursday and knew that there had been recent break-in attempts there.

The driver of the car, claimed that there were mechanical problems leading to the stop at the store, but other passengers offered differing stories. A second vehicle then arrived on the scene, with the driver saying that a passenger from the first SUV needed a ride.

After backup arrived, a sheriff’s department police dog alerted to the smell of drugs in the vehicles and a portable lab was discovered, according to police reports. Deputies arrested 22-year old Kristan Nigh on charge of possession of a controlled substance, syringe and drug paraphernalia.

Bryan Tucker, the driver of the second vehicle, was arrested on preliminary charges of having an illegal drug lab possessing two or more reactants, possession of methamphetamine and paraphernalia.
