On Tuesday evening, November 4, 2014, Warsaw Police performed surveillance on a west side residence after receiving a tip of illegal drug dealing at 602 W. Winona Avenue. After two (2) trips to the residence, Warsaw Police narcotics officers attempted to stop 35 year old, Jason R. Coleman, of Warsaw. Coleman fled on foot and attempted to dispose of two (2) packets of synthetic marijuana, commonly referred to as “spice”, but was caught and taken into custody. Coleman was charged with felony probation violation, and possession of salvia or synthetic cannabinoid, and misdemeanor resisting law enforcement.

Narcotics officers obtained a search warrant and upon executing the search warrant found 14 grams of individually packaged synthetic cannabinoid. Police arrested Jessica D.
