WARSAW, ILL. -- A Warsaw man faces drug charges Friday morning after a fire destroyed his home earlier this month.

You'll recall May 16, we told you firefighters responded to the home of 29-year-old Michael Casey Jones on Crawford Street to find flames and heavy smoke in the living room.

Firefighters were called to the home at 1020 Crawford Street around 2 in the morning. Click here for the original fire story.

During an investigation into the cause of the fire, officials discovered materials used to make methamphetamine.

Now Jones is in the Hancock County Jail, facing charges of cooking and possessing the drug.
