(La Porte, IN) - A Flock camera in La Porte has now led to the arrest of a man who allegedly had some methamphetamine, as Jason Smyers, 44, was taken into custody this past Sunday.
According to police, the La Porte man was in a car detected by a Fllock camera in the area of State Road 39 and 18th Street. Soon after, officers, scouring the area, spotted the car outside the Speedway station on State Road 2 on the city’s west side.
There, nearly eight grams of methamphetamine inside a glass jar was located on the passenger side floorboard. Also seized was a glass pipe allegedly with the substance inside it.
Smyers could face an up to six-year sentence on a Level 5 felony Possession of Methamphetamine charge.
Authorities report that the license plate-reading camera picked up on the car due to it belonging to someone else who had a warrant out for their arrest.
