Grimy Times Exposes: South Bend Cocaine Ring
South Bend, Indiana – A brazen cocaine possession case has sent shockwaves through the streets of South Bend, Indiana. Jarvis Tolbert, a 28-year-old native of South Bend, was sentenced to 60 months imprisonment with 4 years of supervised release after pleading guilty to knowingly or intentionally possessing with the intent to distribute a mixture or substance containing cocaine base over 28 grams.
According to documents filed in this case, on February 22, 2014, Tolbert possessed a package containing a white rocklike substance that he believed was crack.
