SILVER LAKE – An alleged meth dealer got busted by police after he unknowingly sold an ounce of the drug in a sting operation.
Cory Krider, 26, of 6560 W. McClure Drive, Silver Lake, was booked in the Kosciusko County Jail at 1:51 a.m. Wednesday on two Level 2 felony counts of dealing methamphetamine and one Level 3 felony count of possession of methamphetamine.
Those charges come after a lengthy investigation by NET 43 officers who executed a controlled purchase of 1 ounce of methamphetamine in Silver Lake on Tuesday, according to a news release from Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office. Following the transaction, a traffic stop was conducted on Krider and resulted in the discovery of an additional ounce of methamphetamine. An interview with Krider led officers to an additional 1.25 pounds of methamphetamine with an approximate street value of $42,000, police said.
Krider’s bond is listed at $25,000 surety plus $100,000 cash.
