Suspected Louisiana Narcotics Distributor Arrested in Connection with Fentanyl, Methamphetamine, Suboxone, and Firearms Charges

Louisiana – According to the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office, EBRSO Narcotics Agents have been investigating Tyler Wood, a suspected Baton Rouge area narcotics distributor, for the previous two weeks. Agents completed two controlled purchases of fentanyl from Wood during the investigation. As a result, Agents acquired two search warrants for sites used by Wood for his suspected narcotics distribution operation, as well as an arrest warrant for Wood in connection with Fentanyl distribution.

The search warrants were executed on October 18, 2022, by Narcotics Agents with the help of East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office K-9 and Intel. Prior to the execution of the warrants, EBRSO K-9 initiated a vehicle stop on Wood in his 2018 Infinity SUV. Wood attempted to flee and reportedly threw a gun. He was captured promptly.

An arrest is an indication that probable cause exists to believe the subject was involved in the offense alleged. A person is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
