(La Porte, IN) - A La Porte man is facing drug-related charges after being caught driving with a suspended license by a Flock camera.

 

Jason Hill, 46, has been charged in La Porte Circuit Court with Possession of Marijuana and Maintaining a Common Nuisance, along with Driving on a Suspended License.

 

According to court documents, on Sunday a Flock camera alert indicated that the registered owner of a vehicle traveling near Pine Lake had a suspended driver’s license.

 

During a traffic stop, an Indiana State Police trooper called for a K-9 dog, which led to the discovery of THC wax in the vehicle, authorities said. 

 

Further information developed that resulted in the search of his home in the 200 block of Maple Avenue near Rose Street, where more than 77 grams of marijuana in separate packages were confiscated from the residence, which also contained drug paraphernalia.

 

There were also reported signs of possible methamphetamine use by a female passenger in the vehicle who was living at the residence, judging by a noticeable decline in her physical appearance compared to a healthier-looking picture on her driver's license.
