Troopers and Deputies Successful in Joint Narcotics Operation

GRAMMERCY – Louisiana State Police Narcotics Agents, working in conjunction with the St. James Parish Sheriffs Office, arrested two men in Grammercy yesterday after conducting a two-week narcotics investigation. Agents successfully orchestrated the controlled delivery of approximately 22 pounds of marijuana and subsequently executed a search warrant of the residence at 608 Airline Hwy, Grammercy, LA. The search rendered an additional pound of marijuana along with an assortment of paraphernalia and distribution equipment. Additionally, agents seized 14 grams of cocaine and 6 dosage units of Lortab. Both occupants of the residence, Florentino A. Salinas (H/M, age 24) and Victor Gutierrez Franco (H/M, age 21), were arrested and booked into the St James Parish Jail on the charges of Possession with Intent to Distribute Marijuana and Cocaine.

Louisiana State Police works in conjunction with Sheriff’s Offices and city police departments throughout the state on all types of cases. The knowledge, skills, and expertise that local agencies provide combined with the skills and resources of Louisiana State Police detectives and Troopers have proven to be a successful combination. Louisiana State Police will continue to strive to develop and maintain positive working relationships with local, state, and federal agencies.
