St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff’s Office narcotics detectives recently concluded a six-month long undercover investigation into street level narcotics dealers. During operation “Sell Me Something Mister”, narcotics detectives worked sixty-seven cases on forty-one drug dealers and one offender for possession of cannabis/synthetic marijuana. Twenty-seven of the forty-one suspects have been arrested since the start of a roundup that began Wednesday morning.


Detectives executed a judicial court authorized search warrant at the residence of Ladon Cook of Cortez Street in Laplace. Detectives recovered approximately 3.6 pounds of marijuana ($3,200), 30 grams of synthetic marijuana ($900), a handgun, drug paraphernalia, and $1,553 cash.
