JASPER, Ind. (WFIE) — A search for a wanted man in Jasper led to the arrest of three individuals on multiple felony charges related to methamphetamine and marijuana possession. Indiana State Police officials confirmed that the operation resulted in the seizure of drugs and paraphernalia, as well as the capture of Kevin Henning, Letisha Cook, and Michael Bickett.
On Thursday, troopers received information that Henning, wanted on multiple felony warrants out of Kentucky, was residing with Cook in Jasper.
