(Westville, IN) - A man spending quite a bit of time inside a convenience store in Westville was allegedly found with drugs.  Zaden Streb, 29, is charged in La Porte Circuit Court with level 6 felony possession of methamphetamine.

 

According to court documents, police were called to Family Express at 11011 W. U.S. 6 on July 17th on a report of a suspicious man inside the store for about one hour.  Upon arrival, police said officers learned Streb of Kendallville was unable to find a ride. 

 

A few minutes later, Streb was greeted by police when he came out of the store bathroom and dropped what appeared to be a wadded up piece of toilet paper.  Police said the paper was unwrapped and inside was a plastic bag containing .7 grams of methamphetamine.

 

Before the discovery, police agreed to help the man find a ride but the ride they give him was to the La Porte County Jail where he was still being held on $755 bond.

 

He could face anywhere from a six month to 30 month sentence.
