(La Porte, IN) - A La Porte man made his initial appearance Friday in La Porte Circuit Court on multiple drug related counts.   

Police said Kenneth Myers was found with a small amount of methamphetamine and marijuana during a traffic stop on Grove St. nearly two weeks ago.  He’s also charged with selling prescription pills several months ago from his home on Federal Avenue last year. 

Myers, 52, has a prior drug dealing conviction.  According to authorities, he was pulled over for traveling well below the posted 35 mile per hour speed limit on E. Lincolnway.  He’s also charged with driving as a habitual traffic violator.

Myers was still being held Monday in the La Porte County Jail awaiting trial on the multiple counts.
