(Michigan City, IN) - A motor vehicle crash into a house in Michigan City resulted in the arrest of the driver for allegedly having a large amount of dispensary marijuana.

 

Leeanna Kirkwood, 35, is charged in La Porte Superior Court 4 with Level 6 felony possession of marijuana and two other misdemeanor counts of the same offense.

 

According to court documents, Kirkwood told police she was distracted by something and meant to brake.  Instead, she pushed on the gas pedal.  Her SUV struck the front of her neighbor’s house at 401 Southwood Drive.

 

Police said the crash Monday night left a gaping hole in the structure.

 

According to court documents, slightly more than five ounces of dispensary marijuana products were inside a backpack lying on the ground beside the vehicle. 

 

Police said Kirkwood did not appear to be under the influence of any intoxicating substance.  There were no injuries.
