Convicted Drug Dealer Back in Slammer

(La Porte, IN) - A convicted drug dealer allegedly selling narcotics again in La Porte was recently taken off the streets.

 

Jason Unger, 44, has been charged in La Porte Circuit Court with Dealing in Methamphetamine, as well as in Cocaine or a Narcotic Drug, both Level 4 felonies.

 

According to court documents, he has been accused of selling methamphetamine, along with a mixture of heroin and fentanyl, from the driveway of his residence at 103 Virginia Ave. near Rose Street on the city’s east side reportedly in late July.

 

In 2018, Unger was on probation for entering a residence and a motor vehicle after being given a four-year prison sentence for selling drugs.

 

Unger, who was taken into custody on Saturday, is still being held in the La Porte County Jail on $20,000 bond. He could face anywhere from a 2 to 12-year sentence on each of the current drug-dealing counts.
