A search for a fugitive in Jennings County led to two arrests on drug charges, according to the Jennings County Sheriff’s Department.

On Tuesday night, deputies served an arrest warrant on 33-year-old Joni Little at a house on Whitehall Drive in Country Squire Lakes, says Lt. Mike Mowery, spokesman for the sheriff’s department. Little was taken into custody without incident but while in the home, deputies noticed what appeared to be drug-related items.

After getting a search warrant, deputies allegedly found items used in the sale of methamphetamine, marijuana, syringes, drug paraphernalia and other narcotics.

The homeowner 65-year-old Larry Janes was arrested on felony charges including dealing meth, possessing meth, child pornography, syringes, controlled substances and maintaining a common nuisance.

In addition to the original warrant for possession of syringe, Little is also facing felony charges of possession of meth, a syringe and a controlled substance.
