Sheriff Rodney Arbuckle wanted to inform the public of a narcotics arrest following a traffic stop on Interstate 49. On February 14, 2017 at about 8:34 a.m., deputies working speed enforcement on Interstate 49 conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for traveling 91 mph in the 75 mph posted zone.
The deputy made contact with the driver, identified as Considine Shermin Williams Jr. (B/M - DOB: 08/27/1981) of Shreveport, LA, and informed him of the reason for the stop. During the detention, the deputy smelled what he believed to be burnt marijuana coming from the passenger area of the vehicle and observed what appeared to be a partially burnt marijuana cigarette in the vehicle. Williams was questioned in reference to the observations and admitted to having smoked marijuana in the vehicle. Consent was given to search the vehicle for illegal narcotics. Williams was secured in a patrol vehicle and a backup deputy arrived to assist with the vehicle search. Deputies located a sum of money in the console and a large duffle bag containing marijuana in the trunk of the vehicle. Narcotics investigators later determined the sum of money totaled $3,003.00 and the marijuana was weighed to be 727 grams, or about 1.6 pounds. Williams was placed under arrest for Speeding and Possession of Schedule I CDS with Intent to Distribute. He was transported to DeSoto Parish Detention Center where he was booked on the charges. He is currently being held on bonds totaling
$75,292.50.
