Last updated on Monday, February 29, 2016

(AUSTIN) - Three people were arrested Friday including a Scott County elementary teacher on drug related charges.

On Friday, Indiana State Police troopers along with Scott County deputies and Scott County Community Corrections Officials did a search of a home at 3171 Slab Road, in Austin.

During the search police found opana, oxycontin, hydrocodone, marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Police arrested 42-year-old Harold Matthew Kemp on charges of possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and maintaining a common nuisance. 31-year-old Zackie White of Austin was charged with possession of a controlled substance and visiting a common nuisance.

As the investigation was completed at the residence officers learned another occupant of the home was at work and was possibly in possession of a controlled substance.

Officers went to the Scott County School District #1, where 47-year-old Laura Nowling is an elementary school teacher.

Officers found Nowling had meth and drug paraphernalia in her possession. She was arrested and charged with possession of meth and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia and maintaining a common nuisance.

All three are being held at the Scott County Jail awaiting their first court appearance.

Police say the Scott County School District #1 officials cooperated fully with this investigation.
