ALFORDSVILLE — Five people were taken into custody Saturday following a drug bust in southeast Daviess County.
According to a press release from the state police, troopers, along with deputies from both Daviess and Dubois counties, and state conservation officers raided a house at 12265E 800S at 9:30 p.m.
State police and Dubois County deputies received information Friday on a possible methamphetamine lab at the Alfordsville location. After search warrants were obtained, officers found the lab, along with meth precursors, a small amount of processed meth, a semi-automatic handgun and drug paraphernalia.
A 1-year-old child was also at the scene. Taken into custody were two males, three females and a one-year-old child following the search. The baby was placed in the custody of relatives by Child Protective Services.
