Sleeping Driver Arrested for Drugs

(Rolling Prairie, IN) - There’s nothing wrong with taking a nap unless it’s behind the wheel of a car and you have drugs.

 

According to La Porte County Police, a vehicle was stopped in the middle of Wiley Road near U.S 20 in Rolling Prairie about 3 a.m. Monday.

 

Police said the hazard lights on the SUV were flashing, and the engine was turned off. The female driver appeared to be sleeping and woke up when the officer knocked on the driver’s side window.

 

A K-9 dog led to the discovery of heroin and methamphetamine in the vehicle along with a syringe. As a result, 35-year old Angelina Dunham of Hudson Lake was arrested on drug-related charges.
