Visitor Arrested for Trafficking at Indiana State Prison

Michigan City, Ind.- Warden Ron Neal reports an investigation by the Indiana State Prison resulted in the February 9th arrest of Crystal Miller, 25 of Bristol, Indiana. Tobacco, lighters, and a clear crystal-like substance, which field tested for methamphetamine, were found in a package allegedly intended to be delivered to an offender during visitation.

Ms. Miller was arrested by Correctional Police Officers and transported and booked into LaPorte County Jail for Trafficking with an Inmate, a Level 5 Felony and Possession of Methamphetamine, a Level 6 Felony. Trafficking with an Inmate is a Level 5 Felony and is punishable by imprisonment of up to eight years and up to a $10,000.00 fine.  The charge is currently an allegation and Ms. Miller is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Warden Ron Neal commented, “I am thankful that staff were diligent in their duties and were paying attention to this person. We have a zero tolerance policy on trafficking. This is a very serious offense that causes a multitude of problems inside of a Correctional Facility. We will prosecute these cases to the fullest extent of the law! We will arrest and seek prosecution against any person who attempts to traffic illegal substances into any of our facilities."
