La Porte police arrested a man just hours after asking the public for help on social media.

Less than 8 hours after police posted their “Wanted Wednesday Post” on Facebook, police took 38-year-old Dustin Mueller into custody. Mueller was wanted by the La Porte Police Department on 5 warrants, including for possession of methamphetamine and resisting law enforcement.

Cpl. Jaskowiak received information from another agency regarding Mueller’s possible whereabouts. This information was immediately relayed to our on-duty patrol units, who located him within 30 minutes of receiving the tip.

“If you have any information regarding a wanted person, we encourage you to contact Cpl. Adam Jaskowiak at 219-362-9446 ext. 2134 or [email protected],” the LPPD said on its Facebook page.
