(La Porte County, IN) - More information has been obtained regarding a major drug bust made during a traffic stop in La Porte County last week.

 

Kortney Moore, Jr., 26, has been charged in La Porte Circuit Court with Level 2 felony Dealing Methamphetamine.

 

Court documents revealed that close to two pounds of crystal methamphetamine were recovered from his rent-a-car after he was stopped for speeding last week on the Indiana Toll Road near Rolling Prairie. The whopping amount of crystal meth was contained in a bag underneath the front driver's seat. 

 

More than 67 grams of fentanyl, along with about one ounce of marijuana and a jar containing THC wax, were also seized from the vehicle. THC is the active ingredient in marijuana.

 

Police said Moore from Ohio was dressed as a highway worker to disguise his motive for traveling. Still, the officer saw through the disguise after detecting an odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle.  

 

He is still being held today in the La Porte County Jail on $50,000 bond, and could face anywhere from a 10 to 30-year sentence.
