(La Porte County, IN) - Another good-sized marijuana bust has occurred on a major highway in La Porte County after a traffic stop for erratic driving was made on Interstate 94 in the Michigan City area a week ago.

 

The driver from Wisconsin, telling conflicting stories, raised the suspicions of officers, who also discovered he had past drug-related convictions.

 

Eventually, there was a vehicle search which led to the discovery of 30 heat-sealed one-pound packages of marijuana, according to court documents.

 

Travis Dobson, 42, was charged with Dealing in Marijuana because of the quantity allegedly confiscated and could face an up to six-year sentence.

 

Authorities did not reveal where the marijuana was obtained, but it could have possibly been a dispensary in Michigan, considering he was traveling westbound just minutes from the state line.

 

Marijuana remains illegal in Indiana.
