Dispensary Marijuana Arrest in Porter County

(Valparaiso, IN) - Porter County Police have made an arrest involving dispensary marijuana sold outside New Buffalo.

 

Rebecca Micco, 42, of Valparaiso is charged with driving on a suspended license and possession of marijuana. According to Porter County Police, she was pulled over Thursday night for speeding, tailgating and other hazardous driving practices on U.S. 30 especially given the snowy, slick road conditions.

 

During the traffic stop, police said a small amount of marijuana along with 36 grams of THC gummies were located in a backpack inside her vehicle. The products were in commercial packaging that contained the name of a dispensary outside New Buffalo.

 

According to police, the woman’s license was suspended for failure to pay past speeding tickets. She could face up to six months in jail and a maximum $1,000 fine on the Class B misdemeanor possession of marijuana charge. The Class A misdemeanor driving on a suspended license charge could bring a maximum one year jail sentence and an up to $5,000 fine.

 

Police are reminding dispensary customers possession of marijuana legally sold in Michigan remains against the law in Indiana.
