Two suspects arrested in a month-long methamphetamine production investigation will have their initial hearings in Starke Circuit Court on Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 p.m.

Alfred Higdon, 40, and Shari Melton, 39, were arrested Thursday night after Knox City Police officers reportedly found methamphetamine precursors in a home in the 300 block of Delaware Street in Knox. Investigators also found meth and marijuana inside the residence.

Higdon and Melton were arrested on preliminary charges of Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of Precursors and Possession of Marijuana. They remain in the Starke County jail with a $10,000 surety bond.
