Two Louisiana Men Arrested on Weapons and Drug Charges After Fleeing Traffic Stop and Crashing
St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana – Two Louisiana men have been arrested on weapons and drug charges after fleeing a traffic stop and crashing their car.
According to St. Bernard Parish Sheriff James Pohlmann, the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested two New Orleans, Louisiana men on weapons and narcotics charges after they allegedly fled from deputies during a traffic stop Wednesday evening.
On Wednesday, January 25, shortly before 5 p.m., Sheriff Pohlmann said, Field Operations Bureau deputies on patrol in the Chalmette area attempted to make a traffic stop on a 2006 Chevrolet Impala with an expired license plate traveling at a high rate of speed headed northbound on Paris Road.
Deputies pursued the driver, later identified as Williams, into eastern New Orleans, where he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a tree.
Williams and the passenger, Everett, were taken into custody by deputies without incident following the crash.
Deputies reportedly recovered two 9mm handguns, two extended magazines, 359 grams of marijuana, Psilocybin, and clear plastic packaging bags during the investigation, according to the Sheriff. Based on the findings, Williams and Everett were both transported to St. Bernard Parish Prison to face the charges listed above.
Blade Williams, 19, of New Orleans, Louisiana, was arrested suspected of illegal possession of a weapon while in possession of a controlled dangerous substance, marijuana possession, Psilocybin possession, drug paraphernalia possession, flight from an officer, reckless operation of a vehicle, and expired license plate.
Khalil Everett, 21, of New Orleans, Louisiana was booked with illegal possession of a weapon while in possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of marijuana, possession of Psilocybin and possession of drug paraphernalia.
An arrest is an indication that probable cause exists to believe the subject was involved in the offense alleged. A person is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
