Ryan James McBride

WARSAW — A LaGrange man was sentenced today in Kosciusko Circuit Court after a mobile meth lab bust in August 2017.

Ryan James McBride, 24, 318 Hillside Drive, LaGrange, was charged with manufacturing methamphetamine, a level 4 felony.

According to the affidavit of probable cause, on Aug. 1, 2017, investigators discovered a mobile meth lab at Westhaven Estates. Items associated with the manufacture of methamphetamine, including the mobile meth lab, were discovered in plain view in a vehicle.

“Ryan has the potential to get himself out of the hole he’s dug,” defense attorney Jay Rigdon said.

Judge Michael Reed sentenced McBride to six years at the Indiana Department of Corrections.

The last three years of McBride’s sentence will be suspended if he successfully completes a substance abuse treatment program.
