On Wednesday, January 21, 2015, at 1:08 am, St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the 200 block of Chad B. Baker Street in Reserve for the report of gunshots heard in the area. The caller saw two vehicles, a white Durango and a gray Charger, speeding down the street towards Highway LA 44.
A responding unit saw vehicles matching the description of the vehicles and followed them east on Airline Highway to the Belle Pointe Subdivision where the vehicles went two different directions. One patrol unit conducted an investigative stop on the Durango on Airline Highway at East St. John High School, and another patrol unit conducted an investigative stop on the Charger on Airline Highway at Rue De Sante.
Deputies detained four male subjects from the Durango and recovered a handgun from the rear passenger seat. Deputies detained five male subjects from the Charger and recovered four firearms, two handguns, a rifle, and a shotgun. The shotgun was reported stolen from New Orleans.
