Illegal narcotics and weapons were located after two alert St. Tammany Sheriff’s deputies observed a suspicious vehicle while conducting a routine patrol over the holiday weekend.
At approximately 10 p.m. on December 30, two deputies from the St. Tammany Sheriff’s Criminal Patrol Division were conducting a routine patrol in the Covington area, when they observed a grey Nissan Altima occupied by two individuals sitting in the driveway of a closed business in the 6100 block of Pinnacle Parkway. While speaking with the driver, they observed that he was wearing a bullet proof vest. They also observed a white pill on the driver’s side floorboard and a pistol on the back seat on the vehicle.
A subsequent search of the Nissan Altima resulted in deputies locating numerous drugs as well as a 12-gauge shot gun, a 30-06 rifle and a 9mm handgun.
The driver, Dustin Everett (DOB 9/04/1982) of Amite, was taken into custody and booked into the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center on numerous charges.
Through their investigation, deputies determined no charges would be brought against the passenger and she was released from the scene.
