Indiana State Police Trooper Anthony Potesta discovered a large amount of drugs and currency on a routine traffic stop.
At approximately 1:15 p.m., on Monday, December 7th, Trooper Potesta stopped a 2009 Chrysler mini-van west bound on the Indiana Toll Road at the 61.5 mile marker (this is near the LaPorte/Saint Joseph Counties line) for a moving violation. After talking to the driver Potesta realized after further investigation that there was an indication of illegal activity.
LaPorte County Sheriff’s Deputy Andrew Morse and his K-9 Mirza arrived and Mirza alerted on the vehicle. An unknown amount of what was later revealed to be marijuana was found and the van was impounded.
A search warrant was later obtained and five (5) large hockey style bags, containing 187 individual vacuumed sealed plastic bags. It is estimated that each bag contained one (1) pound of hydroponic marijuana. A total of $16,318.00 was also located.
The driver identified as Tomasz Stanislaw Harasim, 26 is a polish national on a passport from Canada. He was arrested and taken to LaPorte County jail and charged with Dealing in Marijuana Over Ten Pounds a Class C Felony and Possession of Marijuana Greater than Thirty Grams a Class D Felony.
