Michigan City Man Sentenced to 151 Months in Prison
SOUTH BEND – In a major blow to the region’s drug trade, a Michigan City man was sentenced to 151 months in prison for his involvement in cocaine distribution, announced United States Attorney Clifford D. Johnson.
Gregory Morrison, 54 years old, of Michigan City, Indiana, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute cocaine. Morrison was sentenced by United States District Court Judge Cristal C. Briscoe.
According to documents in the case, in the summer of 2023, on 8 separate occasions, Morrison distributed a total of 122 grams of cocaine. A search of Morrison’s house in September 2023 resulted in the recovery of an additional 148 grams of cocaine and $1,700. This is Morrison’s fourth conviction for a drug distribution offense.
The case was investigated by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the DEA North Central Laboratory with assistance from the LaPorte County Drug Task Force, the Michigan City Police Department, and the LaPorte County Prosecutor’s Office. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Katelan McKenzie Doyle.
Morrison’s extensive involvement in the region’s cocaine trade has been a major concern for local law enforcement. The Michigan City Police Department has been working tirelessly to combat the region’s growing opioid epidemic.
The 151-month prison sentence is a significant blow to Morrison and his associates, who have been linked to multiple crimes in the region. The sentence serves as a warning to those involved in the region’s drug trade.
The investigation and prosecution of Morrison’s case demonstrate the commitment of the United States Attorney’s Office to combating the region’s opioid epidemic and holding those responsible accountable for their actions.
