A man from Canada found himself in the fast lane to jail after Indiana State Troopers stopped him for speeding on the Indiana Toll Road and discovered marijuana, cocaine, and illegal prescription pills in his vehicle.
Troopers stopped Shish Mohammad, 30 of Scarborough, Ontario, for speeding on the Indiana Toll Road near the eastbound 24 mile marker on Friday, Jan. 17.
Mohammad is alleged to have been driving his gray Nissan 89 miles per hour in a 40 mile per hour zone approaching the Portage Toll Plaza.
While the troopers spoke to Mohammad they purportedly smelled the odor of raw marijuana coming from the Nissan. A police K9 also detected the odor of narcotics.
A search of the Nissan revealed two clear plastic bags of suspected marijuana, suspected marijuana cigarettes, two plastic bags of suspected cocaine, and several pills identified as controlled substances.
Mohammad was taken to the Porter County Jail for Possession of Cocaine, Possession of Marijuana, and Possession of a Controlled Substance.
