NAPOLEONVILLE, LA (WAFB) -
Two men were arrested in Assumption Parish Tuesday night after a deputy saw
them littering. The sheriff's deputy then found what he believed to be a crack rock, open
beer containers and a .36 Derringer pistol.
The deputy noticed the men in the 300 block of Jefferson Street in
Napoleonville. He saw one of them men throw what appeared to be a silver beer
can out of a parked car. He noticed the driver bring a silver can to his mouth.
When the deputy asked the men what they were doing, they said they were "just
sitting and drinking." The deputy noticed the men appeared to be nervous
and the driver kept putting his hands under his legs.
The deputy obtained consent to search the vehicle and found two opened 16
ounce beer cans, four empty 16 ounce beer cans in the grass next to the
vehicle, a small yellowish rock believed to be crack cocaine and a small .36
Derringer pistol in the console.
Both men said they didn't know anything about the suspected crack cocaine or
the gun.
During the booking process, it was noted both men are convicted felons.
