(South Bend, IN) - A man from Trail Creek has been sent up the river for dealing drugs in Michigan City.

 

Tevin Keyshawn Lewis (26) was sentenced last week in South Bend’s U.S. District Court after pleading guilty to distributing 40 grams or more of a substance containing fentanyl.

 

According to authorities, on four separate occasions between December 2024 and May 2025, Lewis sold blue M30 pills containing fentanyl to another person in Michigan City. For each transaction, Lewis sold at least 50 pills. He distributed over 1300 pills in total.

 

“Tevin Keyshawn Lewis sold fentanyl, which remains one of the deadliest drugs on the market,” said U.S. Attorney Adam L. Mildred.  “He compounded his crime by selling fentanyl in pill form, which makes the poison look both safer and easier to ingest to his customers. Thankfully, our excellent team of investigators from DEA and the La Porte County Drug Task Force ended his illicit trade.”

 

Lewis was sentenced to five years in federal prison followed by four years of supervised release.
