A Chicago man is facing felony charges after authorities say a large quantity of illegal drugs was discovered during a traffic stop on a Greyhound bus.
According to the LaPorte County Sheriff’s Office, a highway interdiction deputy observed the bus traveling at a high rate of speed eastbound on I-80 near the 58-mile marker on March 27.
The bus was stopped near the 61-mile marker. During the stop, a narcotics detection K-9 was deployed and alerted to the presence of drugs.
Investigators say a backpack found in an overhead compartment near the front of the bus was claimed by 47-year-old Artha Jackson of Chicago.
A search of the bag allegedly revealed a significant amount of illegal drugs.
Jackson was taken into custody and booked into the LaPorte County Jail on charges of dealing in cocaine, a Level 2 felony, and dealing in marijuana, a Level 6 felony.
He is being held on a $50,000 cash-only bond.
