Detective Rakoczy made contact with the officers at the scene, who said they had witnessed a soft black case containing a glass pipe with residue in the living room. Officers also located a brown glass case containing a black glass broken pipe and a clear glass broken pipe, along with a suspected marijuana grinder.

In the bedroom, officers located four plastic baggies containing a white crystal-like substance. Also located were scales, brownish colored pills wrapped in plastic, and capsules containing a brownish colored powder, also in plastic. Other items, including a pipe and a bong, were also found.

Detectives read Miranda rights to the subject of the search, Starla Lundry. She stated she didn’t know what they were talking about. A short time later, when asked, Lundry reportedly took responsibility for the items. She was handcuffed and arrested.

The four bags containing white crystal-like powder tested positive for methamphetamine. In total, 27 grams of meth was weighed by police.

Lundry faces charges that include possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, a Class A felony; possession of meth or cocaine greater than 10 grams, a Class B felony; and possession of drug paraphernalia, a Class D felony.

All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
