(South Bend, IN) - A La Porte man has been convicted in federal court for dealing drugs.

38-year-old Donta Bridges of La Porte was charged with multiple counts related to dealing heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine, as well as being a felon in possession of a firearm.

The charges stemmed from activity in the fall of 2019. La Porte County’s Drug Task Force was credited with helping federal agents bring Bridges in.

Following a three-day trial in South Bend’s U.S. District Court, Bridges was found guilty. He will be sentenced in early January.
