Last week an Abita Springs-area man was arrested after approximately 100 fentanyl tablets were located inside his vehicle during a traffic stop near Covington.
Thursday afternoon a criminal patrol deputy with the St. Tammany Sheriff’s 4th District conducted a traffic stop on a BMW in the Claiborne Hill area of Covington. The driver’s behavior and statements during that traffic stop prompted the deputy to conduct a search of his vehicle. Inside the vehicle, the deputy located approximately 100 (24.3 grams) of fentanyl tablets and 1.4 grams of crack cocaine.
The driver, Benjamin Fogarty of Abita Springs, was arrested and booked into the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center.
