Drug Dealing Arrest in Michigan City

(Michigan City, IN) - A Michigan City man has been jailed on two charges of drug dealing.

 

Just before 10 p.m. Tuesday night, police conducted a traffic stop near Main and York in downtown Michigan City. Officers noticed suspicious activity in the vehicle, and an alert K-9 police dog detected something illegal inside. Police allegedly recovered 26 grams of suspected cocaine, and over 135 grams of suspected marijuana, along with a portable scale and $283 cash.

 

27-year-old Jalen Wilson was charged with two felony counts of dealing the drugs. Police said he was previously convicted of distributing narcotics back in 2017.

 

Wilson is being held at the La Porte County Jail on a $50,000 cash bond with an initial hearing scheduled for next Tuesday.
