(La Porte, IN) - A woman is facing a potential lengthy prison sentence on allegations she sold methamphetamine in La Porte.

 

Briana Knoebel, 25, of Knox is charged in La Porte Circuit Court with two counts of Level 2 felony dealing in methamphetamine.

 

According to court documents, a buyer in April picked her up at a home in the 500 block of Circle Drive in La Porte and drove her to South Bend to purchase methamphetamine.

 

An exchange involving a half ounce of methamphetamine for $180 was executed after returning to La Porte, police said.

 

About a week later, police said Knoebel was driven back to South Bend to retrieve a similar amount of methamphetamine she sold to a buyer at the same residence in La Porte.

 

According to court documents, the charges under state law were elevated to a level 2 felony because the exchanges occurred within 500 feet of a school or park where children frequent.  In this case, the alleged exchanges were in close proximity to Koomler Park.

 

Knoebel could face anywhere from 10 to 30 years on each count.
