(La Porte County, IN) - A man is facing charges in connection with alleged acts of violence and attempting to bribe a La Porte County Police officer.

Dylan Schweizer, 26, has been accused of threatening to kill his girlfriend, shattering her windshield with a baseball bat, and ramming her vehicle with his pick-up truck over the weekend in Coolspring Township.

The woman reportedly told investigators this happened after she found him in the garage smoking what she believed to be methamphetamine. Police said he was at a gas station on Wozniak Road upon being taken into custody, allegedly offering the arresting officer a payoff if he let him go.

Authorities say the back end of the woman’s pick-up sustained a substantial amount of damage from the ramming.
