(La Porte, IN) - Police officers were in a La Porte neighborhood last night to make an arrest, but ultimately wound up taking two people into custody.

According to police, officers went to 409 D Street, having received a tip that a woman with a warrant out for her arrest was at that location. Upon arrival, police said officers spotted the woman, but a man refused to let officers inside to take her into custody.

Eventually, authorities forced their way in and arrested 24-year old Nicole Williams, who had an active warrant out for her arrest in St. Joseph County for possession of a syringe. 36-year-old Thomas McDonald was also cuffed for assisting a criminal.

McDonald insisted officers have a warrant to go inside his residence, but probable cause to go inside was established when the spotted the woman at the home. Officers forced their way in by removing sliding glass windows from the home that McDonald allegedly refused to unlock.
