Team), with the assistance of the CPSO ACT-Team, executed a warrant at the home of Elliot J. Allison, 55, 3227 Aster Street, Lake Charles, Louisiana after a two-month narcotics investigation revealed drug activity at the home. During the inquiry, officers discovered Allison had allegedly distributed approximately 46 grams of cocaine from his home.

During the execution of the search warrant, detectives discovered Allison, Jacquetta N. Brown, 35, of Lake Charles, and two other men at the residence.

The entire estimated street value of the illegal narcotics collected is around $23,000.

Allison and Brown were arrested and booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center. They are charged with possession of CDS I with intent to distribute (marijuana); possession of CDS I with intent to distribute (synthetic marijuana); possession of CDS II with intent to distribute (cocaine); possession of CDS II with intent to distribute (crack cocaine); possession of CDS II (hydrocodone); operation of a clandestine laboratory; possession of drug paraphernalia; and money laundering transactions involving criminal proceeds.
