Authorities in DeSoto Parish have announced additional arrests in an ongoing crackdown on illegal narcotics distribution in the Logansport area.

As part of a continuing investigation into the sale of methamphetamines and ecstasy, the DeSoto Parish Narcotics Division and the Street Level Interdiction Unit (S.L.I.U.) executed two arrests on August 21, 2025.

Robert Jackson, 44, of Logansport, was taken into custody on two counts of Distribution of Schedule II (Methamphetamine).

Octavia Richardson, 32, of Logansport, was arrested on one count of Distribution of Schedule II (Ecstasy).

Both individuals were booked into the DeSoto Detention Center.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, this operation follows a series of arrests made earlier this month in the same area and reflects their ongoing commitment to disrupt the illegal drug trade.

“Our agents work tirelessly to follow every lead and hold accountable those distributing dangerous drugs that threaten our children, families, and communities,” officials said.

The investigation remains active, and authorities urge anyone with information on narcotics activity to contact the DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office.
