(Michigan City, IN) - A Michigan City man was arrested upon allegedly being found with thousands of dollars in narcotics.

 

Gregory Morrison, 53, has been charged in La Porte Superior Court 1 with Level 2 Felony Dealing Cocaine.

 

According to court documents, members of the La Porte County Drug Task Force on September 26th went to a home at 607 York Street to execute a search warrant. Morrison was located sitting on a couch in the living room, allegedly holding behind his head a small box containing close to 160 grams of cocaine- an estimated street value of at least $10,000. 

 

Also confiscated from the residence was a plastic bag containing a small amount of cocaine along with bags and small boxes labeled "marijuana" and “THC Gummies."

 

THC is the active ingredient in marijuana.

 

Three scales and sandwich bags along with various pills were also seized.

 

According to authorities, individuals selling drugs often possess large amounts, which are used to secure more orders for narcotics, and possess items such as scales and sandwich bags used to place the drugs into for sale.

 

Morrison could face anywhere from a 10-to-30-year sentence.
