Speeding Leads to Meth Bust

(La Porte County, IN) - A speeding driver stopped by police yesterday near Michigan City was allegedly found with methamphetamine.

 

Just before 6 a.m., La Porte County Police said that the driver in question clocked in at 70 miles per hour on U.S. 20 before pulling up to the Family Express at Johnson Road.

 

Just over eight grams of methamphetamine were reportedly located in the vehicle, along with a half dozen unused syringes and a dose of Narcan. Even worse, a computer records check revealed the 27-year-old woman had never received a driver’s license.

 

Domique Tackitt of Michigan City was charged with two Level 6 felony counts related to the alleged drug recovery. She was given a break, though, as she was not cited for pulling into a handicapped parking spot outside the convenience store.
