A Winamac man is facing several serious charges after police arrested him at a Crown Point Family Express on Saturday. He was found with 15 grams of methamphetamine.  

Brandon Anderson, 42, has been charged with dealing methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine, unlawful possesion of a syringe, possession of paraphernalia and making a false-identity statement. 

Officers were called to 802 E North Street shortly after midnight on Saturday for a report of a suspicious vehicle that had been sitting at the gas station for over an hour. 

When initially speaking with police, Anderson claimed his name was Mike. According to the probable cause affidavit, officers observed "Mike" to be nervous, shaking, with shallow breathing  that appeared so noticeable his chest was visibly contracting. After being questioned about his nervousness, Anderson confessed to the fake name and admitted he knew he was in trouble. Anderson also admitted to having several syringes and "some meth" inside his car. 

Court documents statedthat  officers soon discovered Anderson had an active warrant in Pulaski County for possession of methamphetamine. 

After searching the vehicle, officers reported they had discovered a black digital scale, two packs of syringes, two hypodermic needles, a glass smoking device and 15.65 grams of methamphetamine. 

Anderson was taken to the Lake County Jail. Bail was initially set at $50,000.
