(Michigan City, IN) - A Michigan City man was out delivering to his customers, but it wasn’t pizza. Authorities state that he was going to their doorsteps with methamphetamine and marijuana.

 

Jamel Williams, 43, was arrested during a traffic stop just outside of Michigan City last week by Indiana State Police. According to court documents, he was accepting orders on his cell phone that night and driving to South Bend and back, whenever necessary, to meet the drug needs of his customers.

 

With help from a K9 dog, police said a whopping 16 grams of methamphetamine were found in the vehicle, along with a small amount of marijuana. Williams claimed the meth was for his own personal use, but text messages on his cellphone revealed he was drug peddling.

 

The investigation also revealed he was about to make an alleged drug delivery to a customer at a Dunes Inn before being pulled over prior to reaching the motel in the area of U.S. 421 and 400 North.

 

Williams has been charged in La Porte Superior Court 1 with Dealing and Possessing Methamphetamine.

 

He could face as much as 30 years on the drug-dealing count.
