DeSoto Parish Sheriff Rodney Arbuckle would like to announce an update to a previous press release involving the sale of narcotics near Logansport High School. 

Agents with the Tri-Parish Drug Task Force, acting on intelligence obtained during
the previous investigation, identified the supplier of narcotics which were
being sold to students. 

Undercover buys were made from a residence in the 100 block of Spring Street in Logansport, LA and a search warrant was obtained for the residence.  Agents executed that search warrant on May 15, 2015 and recovered about 105 grams of suspected marijuana, a loaded .38 Smith and Wesson handgun, and various drug paraphernalia. 

Children were present in the residence at the time of the search warrant and in the same area as the narcotics and drug paraphernalia.  The children were released to
a relative pending an investigation by Child Protective Services. 

Arrested at the location was Ashley N. McCoy (B/F - DOB: 02/23/1987) of Logansport,
LA.  She was charged with the offenses of LA R.S. 40:966.A.(1) Possession of
Marijuana with the Intent to Distribute, LA R.S. 14:95.E Possession of a Firearm in the Presence of CDS, LA R.S. 40:1023 Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, LA R.S. 40:982 Second or Subsequent Offense, and 2 counts of 14:91.13 Illegal Use of CDS In the Presence of Persons Under 17.  She was later booked into DeSoto Parish Detention Center.
