Renaldo Toussaint of Baldwin was arrested on the following charges:

• A warrant for failure to appear on the charge of criminal neglect of family

Jernell Payne of Verdunville was arrested for the following:

• Possession of Legend Drug (Flexeril)
• Possession of Schedule II (Lortab)

Toussaint was arrested for his active warrants, and Payne for being in possession of several Flexeril and Lortab pills.

All three were booked into the St. Mary Parish Jail.
