Thanks to proactive policing, deputies with the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested a high-level drug dealer over the weekend.
At approximately 8 pm on Saturday night, deputies conducted a traffic stop on a silver Honda Accord near the intersection of N 18th Street and Beulah Street in Lacombe.
Further investigation and a vehicle search led to the discovery of approximately two pounds of marijuana, 30.5 Oxycodone pills, drug paraphernalia, a semi-automatic pistol, an AR style semi-automatic pistol, and $2,986 in US currency which was believed to be proceeds from narcotics sales.
The driver of the vehicle, who is a current Baton Rouge resident and originally from Lacombe, has been identified as 24 YO Jason Peter Leblanc.
Jason Leblanc was arrested and booked into the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center on numerous charges.
