On the night of August 6, Drew County Sheriff Department deputies responded to a report of a fight at a residence located at 246 State School Road. When deputies arrived on scene they made contact with the suspect, Lana Craig, age 38 of Monticello.

With information revealed at the scene deputies were able to search her vehicle. Deputies found numerous pills and pill bottles as well as a small clear plastic bag containing a crystal-like substance with a reddish tint believed to be methamphetamine. A field test performed on the substance tested positive for methamphetamine.
