(La Porte County, IN) - A man has been accused of selling drugs at different locations in La Porte County in less than a week.

 

James Johnson, 51, of Kingsford Heights has been charged in La Porte Circuit Court with three counts of Dealing in Methamphetamine.

 

According to court documents, the exchanges occurred inside an RV parked at a residence in the area of U.S. 35 and 700 South, in the parking lot of an auto parts store in the 300 block of East Lincolnway in La Porte, and outside a convenience store on U.S. 35 at 400 South.

 

Each of the alleged transactions occurred in late January, with one reportedly involving seven grams of methamphetamine for $120.

 

Per authorities, the investigation was conducted by the La Porte County Drug Task Force, which is familiar with Johnson and “his association with the local illicit narcotics trade.”

 

Johnson has two methamphetamine cases from late last year as of yet undecided in the courts.
