MARSHALL COUNTY, Ind. -- Multiple search warrants resulted in multiple arrests on Wednesday for the Marshall County Sheriff's Department Drug Task Force. 

Authorities say the first search warrant was served at roughly 8 a.m. in the 300-block of N. Plum Street.

"Officers located and arrested 43-year-old Mark Weaver of Plymouth on an outstanding warrant of Dealing in Methamphetamine as a Level 2 Felony with a $100,000 cash bond," the MCSD said.

"Officers located and arrested 49-year-old Jason Joseph of Plymouth on an outstanding warrant for Probation Violation on a previous Dealing in Methamphetamine conviction, and a warrant for Dealing in Methamphetamine as a Level 2 Felony with a $100,000 cash bond," the MCSD said.

Joseph was also charged with Dealing in Methamphetamine as a Level 3 Felony and given a $50,000 cash bond.

He is currently being held at the MCJ.

Evidence obtained for the arrest of Joseph led authorities to an additional search warrant being executed at the residence.

"Officers then arrested 39-year-old Ashley Holderman of Plymouth for Possession of Methamphetamine and Neglect of a Dependent as Level 5 Felonies," the MCSD said.

Holderman is also currently being held at the MCJ, but on a $20,000 cash bond.

After the arrests, the Indiana Department of Child Services responded to the scene and removed four juveniles from the home.

The following day, March 6, the MCSD Drug Task Force located and arrested 42-year-old John Matlock of Plymouth at the Economy Inn, in Plymouth.

He was charged with Dealing in Methamphetamine as a Level 3 felony and taken to the MCJ on a $30,000 cash bond.
