(La Porte County, IN) - Police stopped a vehicle for a bad headlight and wound up making a good-sized drug bust in the Michigan City area.

 

Twanyae Johnson is being held in the La Porte County Jail on a $50,000 bond.

 

Early Monday, police said the bad headlight was spotted while Johnson was traveling U.S. 12 at Karwick Road.

 

22 grams of marijuana and over 30 grams of psychedelic mushrooms were found in his vehicle after the officer making the traffic stop detected the smell of marijuana.

 

Johnson was taken to the La Porte County Jail where he allegedly removed a plastic bag containing 27 grams of fentanyl from a body cavity. Johnson revealed he sells the rectangular-shaped fentanyl pills “for a couple of bucks each.”

 

According to court documents, the 22-year-old from Benton Harbor, Michigan was on probation at the time for selling fentanyl.
