(La Porte, IN) - A traffic stop led to a drug-related arrest in La Porte’s downtown area.

 

Andrew Kayser, 26, has been charged in La Porte Circuit Court with Level 6 felony Possession of Methamphetamine and Class A misdemeanor Possession of a Controlled Substance.

 

According to court documents, the Michigan City man was pulled over early on Sunday at Lincolnway and Detroit Street for failing to use his turn signal on multiple occasions.

 

Reportedly, just over a dozen prescription pills and a small amount of methamphetamine were located in his vehicle, with help from a K-9 dog that picked up the scent of suspected narcotics.

 

Methamphetamine in small amounts was also allegedly found in one of his pockets. An initial hearing for Kayser is scheduled before Judge Tom Alevizos on February 28th.
