According to Grey, deputies worked with Assistant Mercer County Prosecutor Tony Miller to apply for the search warrant.

Celina Municipal County Judge Kathryn Speelman later approved the warrant.

At 5:45 p.m., deputies served the warrant at a residence in the 9500 block of Celina Mendon Road, Grey said.

While searching the residence, four people were arrested on drug-related charges. Those include:

  • Brandy Price, 31, of Brookville, was charged with possession of drugs
  • Katie Schlarman, 32, of Celina, was charged with possession of drugs
  • Kelcey Frye, 33, of Rockford, was charged with possession of drugs
  • Dustin Abrahamson, of Delphos, was charged with possession of drugs

This case remains under investigation.

The Mercer County Prosecutors Office will review the case and determine any additional charges.
