Two people are in the Elkhart County Jail on meth possession charges after allegedly threatening a man with a gun near Simonton Lake.
A man called police on Thursday, April 16, to report that people were in his house threatening him. He said the two were allowed inside a home, days earlier, by another person who had left.
Officers went to the home on the east side of the lake where they found Christopher Clayborne, 39, and Tori Costella, 44.
The resident gave his consent to search the home so officers searched and found more than 13 grams of meth in a bag under a mattress, according to 95.3 MNC’s reporting partners with The Elkhart Truth.
The two were booked in the Elkhart County Correctional facility on meth possession charges. Clayborne was also wanted on active warrants for cases involving escape and battery charges. Costella has multiple out-of-state convictions, including for bail jumping.
