PORTER COUNTY, Ind. — Felony charges have been filed against a Canadian man after authorities said they uncovered more than 250 pounds of cocaine in his semi-truck during a major drug bust in northwest Indiana this week.
According to Indiana State Police, 49-year-old Naseeb Chisty, who is from Canada, has been charged with two felonies: dealing cocaine and possession of cocaine.
The charges stem from a drug bust that unfolded at around 9:30 a.m. on Monday, along I-94.
Troopers said they stopped Chisty at the eastbound I-94 scales for a motor carrier violation. The scales are located about two miles east of State Road 49 in Porter County.
