Two La Porte men charged for dealing Fentanyl, police say

LA PORTE, Ind. -- A judge found probable cause to charge two 20-year-olds on October 15 with multiple counts of drug dealing that involved hand-pressed Fentanyl pills.

The LaPorte County Drug Task Force obtained search warrants for residences on the 800 block of Kingsport Avenue and the 100 block of Glover Court.

As a result of these searches, the task force discovered a substantial amount of hand-pressed Fentanyl pills, other illegal drugs, illegal firearms, and cash, police say.

Both men, Jaime Torres and Pedro Burgos, were held on a $50,000 bond until their initial hearing took place on October 15 in the LaPorte County Circuit Court.
