Foot Chase Leads to Drug Charges

(La Porte, IN) - A man is facing charges in connection with a foot chase with La Porte City Police.

 

About a week ago, police were called about a possible homeless man being inside a condemned house.

 

Police said a responding officer spotted 39 year old Daniel Morris leaving the yard of the residence.  Morris with several bags on his possession allegedly took off running.  He was chased to A St. where he ran between houses before captured a short time later in a nearby alley.

 

Police said Morris was found with a small amount of methamphetamine and a smoking pipe typically used to smoke the drug.

 

Morris, who is charged with Level 6 felony possession of methamphetamine and Class A misdemeanor resisting law enforcement, was still being held in the La Porte County Jail without bond.
