At the time of this arrest, Terraz White was out on home incarceration and awaiting trial for a pending murder charge in St. James Parish, officials said.

He was charged with three counts of illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, three counts of illegal possession of a firearm while possessing CDs, illegal possession of a stolen firearm, possession with intent to distribute schedle I and II, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
