(Michigan City, IN) - An arrest has been made in connection with a suspected full-scale drug lab inside a Michigan City residence.

William Riser, 48, is facing charges of dealing in a Schedule-One substance, and possession of methamphetamine.

Last week, police officers entered a home in the 100 block of Earl Road wearing Hazmat suits, and discovered a fully operation drug lab while executing a search warrant. Riser, who lived at the residence, was allegedly making the hallucinogenic drug DMT. Police said the drug is dangerous when ingested and very risky to make.

"This operation was a sophisticated setup designed to produce and distribute dangerous substances," said LaPorte County Drug Task Force Commander Sgt. Kyle Shiparski.

The arrest follows a two-month-long investigation. Riser is currently being held in the La Porte County Jail on a $15,000 bond.
