St. Tammany Parish Sherriff’s have grabbed over 2 dozen people in a drug sting that goes back to March. Matt Doyle has the story.
The fire occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning on the 1800 block of Clark Road. Rodrigue says investigators aren’t sure why the family did not respond to the inferno but says early reports indicate they may not have been awake to react to it.
Rodrigue says investigators discovered the bodies in the wreckage and sent them off to be examined by the coroner. She says it appears the family did not get to spend their last moments together.

29 people have been arrested since March in St. Tammany Parish in a parish wide crackdown on the crystal meth that has been flowing into the rural portions of the region. The arrests have targeted smaller distributors, and have resulted in the seizes of guns, drugs, and money, and St Tammany Parish Sherriff Randy Smith says this meth isn’t being made in the USA.
Smith says they do not suspect that the dealers who’ve been busted are part of a largescale, organized criminal effort to take over distribution in the parish.
The crackdown has involved the sheriff’s narcotics taskforce, as well as assistance from local St. Tammany police departments. Smith says the drugs aren’t being shipped in by sea or air, but taking the interstate system from Border States.
