Fentanyl Sale at Park Brings Charges

(La Porte, IN) - A man could face time in prison for allegedly selling fentanyl at a La Porte park.

 

Isaiah Harris, 27, of Michigan City is charged in La Porte Circuit Court with dealing in cocaine or a narcotic drug, a Level 3 felony.

 

According to court documents, Harris is alleged to have sold 12 pills containing fentanyl for $250 at Charles Lindewald Park.

 

Police said the transaction in the parking lot occurred in March of 2024.

 

The felony charge was upgraded because the buy happened during the late morning hours when there’s a chance of children using the park in a residential area at Park and Cherry streets, according to authorities.

 

Harris could face anywhere from a 3 to 16 year sentence. He was taken into custody about six weeks after a warrant had been issued for his arrest, according to court records.

 

Harris was being held on $25,000 bond.
