St. Mary Parish Men Arrested on Multiple Drug Charges

On Friday morning,  Narcotics Detectives were called to the St. Mary Parish Motor Pool in reference to packages being located on the premises.

Inside the packages were (2) quart size Ziploc baggies which contained loose tobacco, rolling papers, heroin, methamphetamine, marijuana, and synthetic cannabinoids.
