Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana – In a significant victory for law enforcement, Calcasieu Parish Sheriff Stitch Guillory announced that Sgt. Rodney Daigle, Jr., and his K9 partner Buck, members of the Combined Anti-Drug Task Force (C.A.T. Team), made a monumental drug seizure during a recent traffic stop. The pair uncovered a staggering 392 pounds of liquid methamphetamine, with an estimated street value of over $800,000.

This record-breaking seizure is the largest methamphetamine confiscation in C.A.T. Team history and one of the largest in Calcasieu Parish. The C.A.T. Team, a collaborative effort comprising local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, aims to disrupt the trafficking of illegal substances in the parish.

The task force’s efforts have been instrumental in keeping the community safe, and this recent seizure is a testament to their dedication and hard work. Sgt. Daigle and Buck’s discovery is a significant blow to drug traffickers and a major step forward in reducing the availability of illegal drugs in the area.

The C.A.T. Team’s collaborative approach has proven effective in combating drug trafficking, and this seizure serves as a reminder of the importance of interagency cooperation in law enforcement.

An arrest is an indication that probable cause exists to believe the subject was involved in the offense alleged. All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
