Drug Bust After Vehicle Break Down

(La Porte County, IN) - La Porte County Police responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle arrested Jason Bailey, 36, and Tiffany Ransom, 34, who are each facing two drug-related felony counts.

 

The two, both of La Porte, were in a disabled vehicle in front of a residence on April 8th where Ransom was found with methamphetamine and codeine while Bailey was in possession of a syringe.

 

Bailey was taken to the hospital to be monitored after claiming he ingested fentanyl. He was later medically cleared and taken to the La Porte County Jail where he was also held on four outstanding arrest warrants.

 

In 2011, Bailey was given an eight year prison sentence for contributing to the delinquency of a minor in a case involving heroin, according to court records.

 

He was given another eight year prison sentence later on a burglary conviction.

 

Ransom is also facing several previous methamphetamine related charges that have not been decided yet in the courts.
