(Wanatah, IN) - It's not good when a police officer pulls up when you can't stop breaking the law.

 

According to La Porte County Police, 40-year old Michael Mills was at the Speedway station in Wanatah two days ago.

 

Mills was reportedly cleaning out his car when an officer pulled up. They exchanged pleasantries then the officer decided to run a computer check of his license plate number.

 

Police say the search for the Peru, Indiana native came back "wanted in another county" and had a suspended driver's license. In addition, a small amount of marijuana and methamphetamine was located in his vehicle and so was a fully loaded handgun.

 

It was illegal for him to have a gun because of a prior felony conviction for the same firearms-related offense. 

 

He is being held in the La Porte County Jail without bond during this story's publishing.
