(South Bend, IN) - A man caught by La Porte County Police is headed to prison after he was found with close to nine pounds of cocaine.

Juan Aquino, 53, was sentenced to more than six years in prison at U.S. District Court in South Bend.  Just over a year ago, the New Jersey man was stopped for tailgating on the Indiana Toll Road outside La Porte.

Police said about five blocks of cocaine wrapped in cellophane was found under the back seat of the vehicle. The cocaine was valued at roughly $30,000.

Aquino will serve at least four years in federal prison following a release from state authorities.
