A 20-year-old son said he was tired of his father and his friends using meth in the home, so he called the police Tuesday, Officer Katherine Finnell said.

Police responded to the home of Jon Ley, 2851 Park Place Drive, and after being allowed to search the home found a glass pipe and less than a gram of methamphetamine in a plastic bag in the bedroom, Finnell said.

Ley, 46, was arrested for possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
