Drug Bust for Two Passing Through

(La Porte, IN) - Two out-of-town motorists were nabbed on multiple drug charges while traveling through La Porte County.

 

Late Thursday morning a county police officer was patrolling the Indiana Toll Road when he noticed an eastbound vehicle with heavily tinted windows tailgating another vehicle. During a traffic stop, deputies allegedly discovered various illegal narcotics, including cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana.

 

27-year-old Chelsea Hahn and 28-year-old Sadiq Heyward, both from the Baltimore, Maryland area, were each charged with four counts of dealing narcotics. They’re being held in the La Porte County Jail on a $50,005 cash bond through the circuit court.

 

According to the Sheriff's Office, the deputies are part of a special highway interdiction unit, which strategically patrols designated roadways to aggressively disrupt the flow of illegal drugs, weapons, and other criminal-related activities.
