(Michigan City, IN) - A traffic stop in Michigan City resulted in a drug-related arrest and possible leads to other criminal activity.
Jeffrey Griffin, 61, of Michigan City is charged with Possession of Methamphetamine. He was stopped during the early morning hours of March 11th at U.S. 12 and Liberty Trail for speeding.
The officer, who was in an unmarked vehicle, was nearly finished writing a warning ticket for speeding when a K-9 dog brought to the scene by another officer alerted him to the presence of drugs. Less than a gram of methamphetamine was located in the vehicle along with nearly a dozen syringes, one of which was loaded with a dark brown colored liquid substance, per authorities.
Court documents also revealed a notebook listing various accounts along with a driver’s license and forms of identification belonging to another individual were discovered in the vehicle.
Evidence appearing to be related to a website called the “Dark Web” was also found in the vehicle, known infamously to be used to engage in a wide range of highly illegal activity related to drugs and other things like child pornography. The website can be accessed only by a specialized web browser to keep activity on the site anonymous and private.
