MICHIGAN CITY — Entering Bill Cook’s new home, visitors will encounter floors paved with century-old bricks culled from La Porte’s historic roadways; walls built from the logs of the county’s oldest standing cabin; and even blue-tinted glass melted from the sands of Michigan City’s long lost Hoosier Slide. That’s not even scratching the surface. kAm%96 3F:=5:?8 – H9:49 D9@H42D6D =62565 8=2DD H:?5@HD C64=2:>65 7C@> 49FC496D[ G:?E286 ':4E@C:2? =:89E3F=3D 2?5 6G6? E96 7C@?E 6?5 @7 2 `hcg u@C5 – 42?

WESTVILLE — Flying a drone loaded with meth, fentanyl, cocaine, marijuana, cell phones and more to inmates in the Westville Correctional Facility turned out to be less than a good idea for one 29-year-old Hammond man. But despite the suspect's eventual capture, La Porte County Prosecutor Sean Fagan predicted these crimes will only become a growing issue in the future. kAmtC:4 !2E:?@[ ah[ @7 w2>>@?5 92D 366?

NEW ORLEANS — The search for a stolen iPhone, and the hunt for the suspected thief, might have been what kept one La Porte man and his friends safe when a terrorist launched an attack that claimed 14 lives in New Orleans on New Year’s Day.
