Fugitive Snared by Flock Camera Back in Jail

(La Porte, IN) - A Michigan City man is back in custody facing charges linked to the use of a flock camera.

 

Joshua Bracken was charged in May with mostly lower level drug related offenses after he was driving a vehicle stopped by Indiana State Police on McClung Road in La Porte.

 

The traffic stop was in response to a flock camera giving notice about the owner of the vehicle later identified as Bracken having a suspended driver’s license.

 

Police said he was arrested when a small amount of marijuana and prescription pills he didn’t have a doctor’s permission to have were located in the vehicle.  He was also charged with not having insurance on the vehicle and cited for not wearing a seat belt.

 

According to court records, Bracken was released from the La Porte County Jail after posting bond a few weeks later.

 

A bench warrant was issued for his arrest last week when he allegedly failed to show up for a court hearing.  He was taken back into custody when served with the bench warrant five days later.
