Alleged Drug Dealer Raised Price To Cover Gas Cost
PORTER, Ind. (AP) ―
A man facing drug charges allegedly told a police informant that he's charging customers an extra $25 because high gas prices have boosted his delivery expenses.
According to Porter County court records, 18-year-old Anthony Salinas of Hammond told a confidential source for the county's drug task force in June that with rising gas prices, he had to add the extra charge to the $215 he allegedly was charging for 7.2 grams of cocaine.
Porter County authorities charged Salinas with two counts of dealing cocaine. If convicted, he could face up to 100 years in prison
