Ascension Deputies Arrest 7 In Drug Raid

PRAIRIEVILLE, La. (AP) — Ascension Parish sheriff's narcotics agents shut down two methamphetamine labs and arrested seven people this week on drugs and other counts after a monthlong investigation.

The Advocate reports agents obtained a search warrant for a home after they stopped and arrested four people Feb. 14 on drug counts as they were leaving a Prairieville mobile home. Three others were arrested on Tuesday.

Deputies say a search of the home turned up two methamphetamine labs, an undisclosed amount of methamphetamine, marijuana, hydrocodone, clonazepam, Xanax and Adderall and a handgun.
