(Rolling Prairie, IN) - Another major marijuana bust has been made by
La Porte County Police.
Each one the past few months has occurred on the Indiana Toll Road
near Rolling Prairie.
Pablo Cortina was arraigned Friday in LaPorte Circuit Court.
According to court documents, he was stopped for tailgating just over a
week ago.
Police say Cortina in his early 60’s appeared very nervous which led to a search
of his vehicle.
Over 30 pounds of marijuana inside two suitcases were allegedly recovered
from the trunk.
According to court documents, Cortina said he was being paid to transport the
marijuana from Baltimore to California.
