County – A man and woman were arrested last evening after meth and a
stolen handgun were found in their car. About 11:30 p.m. last evening Trooper Earnest
Paige was on SR 3 south of New Castle, around County Road 500 South, when he
clocked a gray passenger car northbound on SR 3 doing 70 M.P.H. in the 55
