Two individuals were arrested on drug charges following a welfare check at 936 Shugars Hill Road on Saturday afternoon.

Casey County Deputies Tyler Luttrell and Hannah Lynn encountered Julia K. Carmickle outside the residence. Julia voluntarily produced a baggie containing a white crystal-like substance, which she identified as methamphetamine, & indicated there were additional drugs inside the house.

While retrieving her belongings, Julia directed the deputies to the living room, where drug paraphernalia—including needles, a loaded needle, a tourniquet, and a straw—were discovered. Julia was subsequently placed under arrest.

Inside the residence, Henry Hall consented to a search and handed over a glass pipe containing suspected meth residue. Henry admitted to using methamphetamine the previous day. He was arrested and transported to Casey County Jail.

Julia Carmickle, age 23 of Liberty, faces charges of public intoxication (controlled substance), possession of drug paraphernalia, and first-degree possession of methamphetamine. 

Henry E. Hall, age 56 of Liberty, is charged with first-degree possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia.
