(Michigan City, IN) - A Michigan City man with a prior criminal record is accused of selling cocaine.

Anthony Neal, 34, was allegedly caught selling cocaine in the area of U.S. 421 and U.S. 20. As a result, Neal has been charged in La Porte Superior Court 2 with dealing cocaine, a level 2 felony, which could bring him anywhere from a 10-to-30 year sentence.

According to court documents, he met the alleged buyer outside of White Castle and conducted the half-transaction inside of a vehicle. Neal, who didn’t have enough cocaine to complete the deal, drove to a residence in the 2200 block of Wabash St. in Michigan City, to retrieve the rest of the cocaine he promised to sell.

Court documents revealed nearly nine grams of cocaine were sold for $375 across both transactions. The alleged sale occurred in February.

In 2008, Neal was given a 10-year prison sentence for burglary, having also been sentenced to four years in prison in 2016 for robbery.
