(Michigan City, IN) - A Michigan City man could be going back to prison on major drug and gun related charges.
Demetrius Roberson, 49, of 431 East 7th Street is charged in La Porte Superior Court 1 with Dealing Cocaine as a Level 1 Felony punishable by anywhere from a 20-to-40 year sentence.
He’s also charged with being a Serious Violent Felon in Possession of a Firearm, a Level 4 Felony that could bring him an additional 3-to-16 years.
According to court documents, Roberson was taken into custody during a recent raid at his residence where nearly one pound of cocaine was found in the bedroom and kitchen. His girlfriend and their three children were inside the home during the early morning raid brought on by a long term investigation into his alleged narcotics dealings.
A loaded pistol and digital scale were also seized from the residence.
Police said it was illegal for Roberson to have a firearm because of a prior Dealing Cocaine conviction from a case filed in 2011.
