(La Porte County, IN) – Another arrest has been made for having a large quantity of marijuana purchased legally in Michigan in La Porte County.
La Porte County Police said a sheriff’s deputy was monitoring traffic last night along Indiana 39 just south of the Michigan state line when he noticed a passing vehicle had a dim license plate light.
The light was not strong enough to allow the plate to be seen from a distance of at least 50 feet, which is against state law, police said.
Eventually, police said the officer caught up to the speeding vehicle, which was pulled over in a gas station parking lot at Indiana 39 and U.S. 20.
While speaking to the driver, police said the officer detected an odor of marijuana along with some type of air freshener or cologne.
Police said marijuana in leafy form and in gummies and wax were found in a white bag covered by a sweater in the back seat of the vehicle.
According to police, the marijuana products were purchased at URB, a recently opened dispensary along Michigan 239 and Interstate 94 in New Buffalo Township.
The purchase price was $564.00
