Two people ended up in jail after the Greene County Sheriff’s Department responded to a location in the Solsberry area where someone reported a woman had overdosed on heroin last Saturday.

Kathryn Mae Jones, 27, Bloomington, was arrested by Deputy Michael Coy of the Greene County Sheriff’s Department Saturday night on some new charges and on a warrant that was out for her arrest in Madison County, according to court records.

During the same incident, Dustin Levi Lambert, 34, Bloomington, was taken into custody and escorted to the Monroe County Detention Center in Bloomington. He was wanted on two warrants issued out of Monroe County.

A few minutes before 5:30 p.m. last Saturday, August 28, Greene County Dispatch got a call about someone who had possibly overdosed at a location on North Copper Branch Road, Solsberry. The caller reported a man, who possibly had a weapon, was pacing back and forth by a white vehicle outside a residence and someone could be heard telling a woman called Katie to breathe. Dispatch was told the woman had overdosed on heroin and was unconscious.

GCSD Maj. George Dallaire responded along with Detective David Elmore. Deputy Michael Coy, the investigating officer, and Deputy Logan Milligan were dispatched and when they arrived on the scene at 5:34 p.m., both the man and the woman were sitting in a driveway behind a vehicle and the man was handcuffed.

The man was identified as Dustin Levi Lambert. He had two warrants out for his arrest in Monroe County.

The woman said she did not have her identification with her but she gave a name and birthdate. Deputy Coy attempted to run her information several times but could not find anyone with the name she gave in multiple states. It turned out the name belonged to her cousin in California, and she was then identified as Kathryn Mae Jones. She had a warrant out for her arrest in Madison County. Kathryn Jones was then also placed in handcuffs.   

Before they were transported, Jones told Maj. Dallaire that a brown purse, a small backpack and a small pink lockbox in the vehicle belonged to her.

Deputy Coy reported that when the vehicle was inventoried before being towed, he found several syringes in the backpack. When the other items were inventoried at the sheriff’s department, he found a silver spoon and two smoking devices, one of which tested positive for methamphetamine. He also found 30 syringes. They were disposed of with one that appeared to contain blood saved as evidence.

Dustin Lambert was transported to Monroe County where he was wanted on two warrants. One was issued for a violation of his pre-trial release agreement in a case involving:

• Burglary, a Level 5 felony,

• Theft – with a prior conviction, a Level 6 felony, and

• Criminal mischief, a Class B misdemeanor.

The other warrant was issued on charges of:

• Possession of a narcotic drug, a Level 6 felony,

• Possession of marijuana, a Class B misdemeanor, and

• Possession of paraphernalia, a Class C misdemeanor.

Kathryn Jones was transported by Greene County Ambulance to IU Health Bloomington Hospital, escorted by Deputy Milligan.

After medical clearance, Jones was booked into the Greene County Jail at 8:01 p.m. She’s being held without bond pending court appearance.

In a criminal case filed against her in Greene Superior Court earlier today, Jones is facing charges of:

• Possession of methamphetamine, a Level 6 felony,

• Unlawful possession of syringe, a Level 6 felony,

• Possession of paraphernalia, a Class C misdemeanor, and

• Identity deception, a Level 6 felony.

Jones is also wanted in Madison County with a warrant issued in late June after she failed to comply with a condition of her release from jail in a case involving charges of:

• Unlawful possession of a syringe, a Level 6 felony,

• Possession of a narcotic drug, a Level 6 felony, and

• Possession of marijuana, a Class B misdemeanor.

In that case, the prosecution intends to seek a sentence enhancement for being an habitual offender.
