South Bend man arrested on multiple charges

A South Bend resident was arrested at midday on multiple charges in Marshall County. On Wednesday, July 10th, a Marshall County Sheriff’s Department K-9 Deputy conducted a traffic stop with a vehicle near U.S. 31 and State Road 110.

The stop, which took place around 2:30 in the afternoon, found 49-year-old Corey Dawson of South Bend as the vehicle’s driver.

When the deputy stopped the vehicle, it was found that Dawson was driving while suspended with a prior conviction. Making matters worse, suspected drugs and paraphernalia were found on Dawson’s person. More drugs and paraphernalia were found on the passenger’s person, and inside of the vehicle.

Dawson was transported to Marshall County Jail by the Sheriff’s Department, where Corey was booked for driving while suspended with a prior conviction, possession of marijuana, and possession of paraphernalia. Dawson was held on a $500 cash bond.
