Two arrested for meth in Benton Township

Posted:

Police in Berrien County arrested two people for meth at a home near the Southwest Michigan Regional Airport on Monday evening.

The Berrien County Sheriff Department's Narcotics Unit searched the home in the 500-block of Midway Avenue for illegal narcotics. During their search, they say they found an active meth lab.

Both people in the home, 38-year-old Jerry Collins and 24-year-old Amy Allard, were arrested and taken to the Berrien County Jail. They each face several drug-related charges, including Manufacturing Methamphetamine. Collins also had a warrant for Contempt of Court out of Van Buren County.

Police say due to the unstable and volatile nature of meth labs, another home was evacuated while technicians worked to make the home safe.
