(La Porte, IN) - A man could face a lengthy prison sentence after allegedly being caught with various narcotics in La Porte’s downtown area.

Aaron Fleck, 39, of Michigan City was taken into custody on May 12th after being pulled over for driving a vehicle with a partially obstructed license plate on East Lincolnway near Scott Street, as per La Porte Police.

The officer at the scene became suspicious when he noticed Fleck's hand was shaking while handing him his driver's license. A K-9 conducting a free-air sniff then reportedly detected the presence of drugs in the vehicle. As a result, over 22 grams of methamphetamine, slightly more than two grams of cocaine, and six fentanyl tablets were recovered from the vehicle. 15 Tramadol pills were also allegedly seized. 

A notebook seemingly used as a ledger to keep track of his drug sales was also found in the vehicle, along with a loaded handgun and $240 in cash.

Fleck is charged in La Porte Circuit Court with Level 2 felony Dealing in Methamphetamine, which could result in a maximum 30-year sentence, alongside other drug-related counts filed against him.
