Middle River woman arrested on drug charges

Over the weekend, two individuals from the area were arrested on multiple felony drug offenses, including dealing cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana, the La Porte County Sheriff’s Office (Indiana) announced March 22.

The pair — Chelsea Hahn of Middle River and Sadiq Heyward of Baltimore City — were driving along an Indiana toll road when they were stopped, and later taken into custody, by authorities after illegal substances were discovered.

On the morning of March 21, a highway interdiction deputy was monitoring eastbound traffic along the Indiana Toll Road (I-80/90) in the area of the 47-mile marker, officials said. Law enforcement officials observed a passenger vehicle pass by following a commercial motor vehicle too closely.

According to LCSO, the vehicle’s windows had an extremely dark tint, obstructing the view of anything inside. A traffic stop on the vehicle was initiated by the deputy near the 52-mile marker.

Hahn, 27, was identified as the driver and the passenger was identified as Heyward. As the stop progressed, “probable cause was established that criminal activity was afoot,” officials said. After a second interdiction deputy arrived, a search of the vehicle commenced and yielded an assortment of illegal narcotics, authorities said.

Heyward and Hahan were taken into custody and transported to the La Porte County Jail (LCJ). They were both were arrested for the following offenses:

• Dealing Cocaine — Level 2 Felony

• Dealing Methamphetamine — Level 2 Felony

• Dealing I, II, or III Controlled Substance — Level 2 Felony

• Dealing Marijuana — Level 5 Felony

The two remain housed in the LCJ and are being held on a $50,005.00 cash bond through La Porte County Circuit Court.
