(La Porte County, IN) - Another man coming from Michigan was allegedly caught with a huge amount of marijuana in LaPorte County.

 

Jonathan Millard has been charged in La Porte Superior Court 1 with Dealing Marijuana after being pulled over on Interstate 94 at Michigan City on February 23 for failing to properly use his turn signal multiple times while changing lanes and tailgating. The investigation showed that he traveled from his home in Wisconsin to the Detroit area, and was returning home the next day when he was pulled over.

 

With help from a K9 dog, police said there were 56 one-pound packages of leafy marijuana recovered from his rent-a-car, along with 1,000 THC vape cartridges, three boxes of THC gummies and syrup, and four jars of THC wax. Whether or not the marijuana was purchased legally from a dispensary was not revealed.  

 

A number of people have been arrested in LaPorte County in recent months for transporting marijuana purchased legally in Michigan through, Indiana where the drug remains illegal. Some of the marijuana in those traffic stops were acquired at dispensaries in places like New Buffalo Township and Buchanan.

 

Millard could face an up to six-year sentence on the Level 5 felony charge. After posting bond, he was allowed by a judge to live in Wisconsin to await the outcome of the case.
