(Michigan City, IN) - A significant amount of prison time could result from the sale of a large amount of methamphetamine from a Michigan City apartment complex.  Brandy Newman was charged Wednesday in La Porte Superior Court 1 with Level 2 felony dealing in methamphetamine.

According to court documents, the charges stem from the sale of more than 31 grams of methamphetamine in late January from Tall Timbers apartment complex on Springland Avenue on the city’s east side.

Police said Newman accepted $275 and provided the buyer with a pink granola box containing the drug in a zip lock baggy.  The alleged exchange occurred in the presence of a child who appeared to be about four years of age.

A warrant was issued for arrest Wednesday after Judge Jamie Oss ruled the evidence was sufficient enough for Newman to answer to the allegations.  She could face anywhere from a 10 to 30 year sentence.
