COLUMBUS, Ind. — Two Columbus residents are in jail on multiple charges, including possession of methamphetamine and stolen property, after Indiana State Police troopers served a search warrant at a local home.

Arrested Monday afternoon were Jason D. Warren, 44, 1921 Keller Ave., and Rhonda A. Oliphant, 44, 910 Seventh St. Both are in Bartholomew County Jail on 48-hour holds, according to jail officials.

Troopers served a search warrant at 1921 Keller Ave. about 3 p.m. Monday looking for a wanted person, but based on information gathered they obtained another search warrant for the property, which led to the discovery of crystal methamphetamine, thousands of dollars in stolen property and counterfeit money.
