Father Arrested After Allowing Marijuana Use In Home
Dennis Langly Hall
WARSAW — Dennis Langly Hall, 49, 326 N. Lake St., Warsaw, was arrested Tuesday, Feb. 2, on drug charges. He was booked in the Kosciusko County Jail at 8:27 a.m.
Hall is charged with maintaining a common nuisance and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, both level 6 felonies; and possession of marijuana, a class B misdemeanor. Due to a November, 2014, drug offense conviction, the possession charge was enhanced to a class A misdemeanor.
The affidavit of probable cause, filed Feb. 1, in Kosciusko Circuit Court, states on Jan. 10, Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Deputy Shane Bucher went to serve a warrant on Levi Hall at his Lake Street address. Dennis Hall met Bucher at the door and stated Levi Hall is his son and both resided at the residence. While standing at the door, Bucher could smell the odor of burnt marijuana coming from inside the residence. The father and son were questioned about the marijuana smell and invited Bucher inside the home, where the odor was stronger. The smell of raw marijuana could also be smelled.
Inside the home, Bucher found three juveniles who were instructed by Dennis Hall to tell police about the marijuana. One juvenile gave police a metal marijuana pipe, admitted to smoking marijuana and told police paraphernalia could be found in Levi Hall’s room. The other two juveniles admitted to smoking marijuana and would test positive if given a drug test. They were released to their parents.
Dennis Hall took Bucher upstairs to a bedroom, where Bucher observed two glass marijuana smoking pipes. In the living room, a hole in the wall was observed, containing a clear plastic bag containing a green leafy plant. A digital scale was also found. The marijuana weighed 28.1 grams. Dennis Hall and one of the juveniles advised the marijuana belonged to Levi Hall and knew the marijuana was present.
Hall is being held on a $2,000 surety and $250 cash bond.

Woman Sentenced In Child Molesting Case
Jessica Kissinger
COLUMBIA CITY — Jessica Kissinger, 20, Churubusco, was sentenced to 14 years in the Indiana Department of Corrections today in Whitley Circuit Court. Kissinger was convicted of molesting a child on three different occasions in 2013 and 2014.
Prosecuting Attorney Matthew J. Rentschler argued for a stiff sentence: “The court needs to consider the lasting effect this will have on the child as she enters young adulthood and beyond. The child will never be able to forget what has happened to her.”
Judge James Heuer issued the sentence after hearing testimony from several of Kissinger’s family members and former co-workers. He then listened to arguments from the prosecutor and defense counsel.
Kissinger and her husband, John R. Kissinger, were initially charged with five counts each of child molesting and child exploitation. They were accused of making several videos over the course of a year as they molested a girl who was between 4 and 8 years old. They were arrested in early July 2015.
John Kissinger
The investigation began in late June 2015 when a digital storage device containing the videos was given to Indiana State Police. Several of the videos show the same young girl as the couple molest her, adding the girl appeared to be asleep or unconscious in at least two of the videos.
The couple was initially held on $100,000 bond each.
John Kissinger is scheduled for a three-day jury trial to begin at 9 a.m. Feb. 23.
