(UNION TOWNSHIP) – A White Pigeon man was one of two people arrested on a drug charge following a complaint of a truck parked along the road.

The Branch County Sheriff's Department was called to Union Township Wednesday and located the truck with two men inside. Deputies found a blue zip up bag. Inside the bag was a small, plastic container with a lid and a snuff tin. Both of those items had suspected meth inside. A field test resulted in a positive test for the drug.

The occupants of the vehicle, 52 year old Roger Lansberg of White Pigeon and 35 year old Jason Work, both denied the bag belonged to them. Work did say he put the marijuana in the vehicle, but it was not his.

The vehicle was registered to Lansberg. A fourth time habitual offender notice was filed against Lansberg after he was previously convicted in 1989 for Breaking and Entering, in 2003 for possession of meth and in 2005 for absconding from bond.

Both Lansberg and Work were arraigned in Branch County District Court. A probable cause hearing is scheduled for December 21 and a preliminary examination for December 28.
