Jail a Broken Record for Alleged Dealer

(La Porte, IN) - A La Porte man with a long criminal history was back facing a judge this morning.

 

31-year old Timothy Hostetler is charged with two counts of Dealing Methamphetamine. According to court documents, he was caught selling meth twice last summer on La Porte’s east side and the downtown area. Both sales combined were for about $300.

 

According to court records, Hostetler has been in and out of prison since 2011 for convictions on crimes like burglary and theft. He also has several prior charges like possession of methamphetamine, still undecided by the court. Another still pending charge was for leading police on a high-speed chase in La Porte last year.

 

Hostetler is currently being held in the La Porte County Jail without bond.
