A months-long investigation into the illegal distribution of multiple controlled substances in the Mansfield area resulted in two arrests on November 12, according to the DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Narcotics agents, along with the Street Level Unit and the DeSoto S.W.A.T. team, executed a search warrant Wednesday afternoon at a residence on McDonald Lane. Upon entry, S.W.A.T. officers located a man identified as Dalton D. Duran, 28, of Mansfield, who was wanted on multiple felony warrants tied to the distribution of methamphetamine, Xanax, and Suboxone. Duran was taken into custody without incident.

A second individual, Whitney Coleman, 30, of Grand Cane, was also found on the property. Deputies discovered she was wanted in Caddo Parish on drug-related charges, and she, too, was taken into custody without incident.

During the search, narcotics agents recovered over 100 Xanax bars, a large amount of methamphetamine, several firearms, and various pieces of drug paraphernalia, the sheriff’s office reported.
