Brenda Loggins, 40, has been charged in La Porte Circuit Court with Level 6 felony Possession of Methamphetamine and Class A misdemeanor Resisting Law Enforcement.

 

According to court documents, at about 2 a.m. on May 7th a La Porte Police officer pulled Loggins over on Andrew Avenue near 12th Street regarding a bad taillight. There, she allegedly tried to conceal a plastic bag containing 3.5 grams of methamphetamine in a cupholder.

She could face an up to 30-month sentence on the drug-related charge and another one-year sentence on the remaining count.
