(Michigan City, IN) - Two people were taken into custody while allegedly attempting to deliver methamphetamine.

 

Last Friday evening police pulled over a 2010 Infinity on Michigan City’s east side for doing 50 in a 35 mph zone. The driver, 40-year-old Justen Michael Buckley of New Buffalo, told an officer that he and his passenger, Anna Lee of Michigan City, were travelling from South Bend to meet someone in Michigan City.

 

During the traffic stop, a police K-9 alerted officers to the possible presence of narcotics, and a search of the vehicle turned up 61 grams of suspected methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

 

Police also confiscated a black and gold Smith & Wesson .40 caliber handgun. According to court records, Buckley has prior felony convictions in La Porte and Lake Counties.

 

Both Buckley and Lee had initial hearings in La Porte’s Superior Court I on Wednesday.
