Sheriff Jayson Richardson would like to inform the public that over the past month, Narcotics Agents have made several arrests involving the distribution of dangerous narcotics in and around DeSoto Parish.  These arrests involve Meth, Cocaine, and Crack, among other drug and firearm related charges. 

The Sheriff’s office said, “Each month we try to let the public know what is being done about those who aim to distribute dangerous drugs within our Parish, and potentially to our younger and more vulnerable community.”

The following individuals have been taken into custody and transported to the DeSoto Parish Detention Center:

JAMES MOORE • 49 YO W/ M OF BOSSIER PARISH, LA DISTRIBUTION OF SCHEDULE I (METH).

CALEB MORGAN – 20 YO W/M OF MINDEN, LA POSSESSION OF SCHEDULE I POSSESSION OF SCHEDULE I/ POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA.

ISSAC SPRINGER – 44 YO W/M OF CONVERSE, LA POSSESSION OF SCHEDULE II (METH)

With the current epidemic of fentanyl and other dangerous drugs sweeping our nation and causing devastating harm to communities, Sheriff Richardson wants DeSoto Residents to know that they are doing their very best to keep these drugs off our streets, make distribution within DeSoto Parish extremely difficult, and holding drug dealers accountable.  The Sheriff’s Office said, “We expect many more arrests to come in connection with these investigations.”

An arrest is an indication that probable cause existed during an alleged offense. All subjects posted above should be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
