A traffic stop resulted in a gun related arrest outside La Porte.

28-year-old Devonce Whitesides was pulled over about 10 a.m. Saturday for traveling 95 miles per hour on the Indiana Toll Road. A pistol was allegedly found in the vehicle.  The Terre Haute man was not supposed to have a gun because of a lengthy criminal record for serious felony crimes, police said. 

He could face an up to 12-year sentence on the Level 4 Felony offense of being a Serious Violent Felon in Possession of a Firearm.

Whitesides is being held in the La Porte County Jail on $20,000 bond.
