Area Residents Arrested on Meth-related Charges in Monmouth
Several Knox County residents and one from Monmouth are under arrest in Warren County after the State's Attorney there says Monmouth police first spotted a man that was wanted in Knox County and considered armed and dangerous.

Warren County State's Attorney Chip Algren says Monmouth police officers spotted 27-year old Sean Moore of Galesburg entering a home in the six-hundred block of West 11th Avenue in Monmouth Saturday night, and knew him to be wanted on a Knox County Warrant for felony drug charges.

Algren says officers and Warren County Sheriffs Deputies later entered the home and arrested Moore, who he says was found allegedly hiding in a bedroom.

Algren says as authorities searched the home, they discovered a suspected methamphetamine later removed with the help of the State Police Meth Response team.

He says Moore, 54-year old Tracy Yoder of Monmouth, 22-year old Jillian McCombs of Galesburg, and 30-year old William Marshall of Wataga were arrested and have been charged with a Class-X felony count of Possession of Methamphetamine, and one Class-One felony count of Participation in Meth Manufacturing.

All four are being held in the Warren County Jail. Bonds were set Monday by Judge Stephen Mathers at $100,000 for Moore, and $25,000 for the remaining three. They all were back in court Tuesday, where preliminary hearings were set.
