NARCOTICS INVESTIGATION IN RICHLAND PARISH LEADS TO FORTY-TWO ARREST WARRANTS

The Richland Parish Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Division issues forty-two arrest warrants for twenty-three individuals Thursday morning. These warrants are the result of narcotics investigations that have been ongoing for several months. As of today, fifteen individuals are in custody, and the remaining suspects are expected to be arrested in the coming days.

Of the forty-two warrants, thirty-eight are for the distribution of narcotics, with bonds set as high as $1,000,000.

Sheriff Neal Harwell states, “These kinds of investigations and arrests take time, but they are paramount in removing drugs and drug dealers from our communities.”

Sheriff Harwell also says, “I am extremely grateful to all of the RPSO deputies and the citizens of Richland Parish who made this mission a success. An investigation like this takes deputies from every division to move it from an initial complaint to booking in our detention center.”

He also thanks Probation and Parole for their assistance with the operation.

This week, our Coordinator of Rural High Risk Teams, Christy Montgomery, joined Investigator Kerri Moroni of the Richland Parish Sheriff's Office at the End Violence Against Women International (EVAWI) Conference in Anaheim, California.

The conference, titled International Conference on Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, and Forging New Pathways, brings together experts, advocates, and law enforcement from across the globe to collaborate on strategies to end gender-based violence.

Partnerships like ours are vital. When advocates and law enforcement work together, we can better support survivors, hold offenders accountable and build safer communities for everyone.

We’re proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with our partners as we continue this important work.

At the end of Tuesday’s legislative session, we had the honor of showing our appreciation at the Louisiana District Attorney’s Association Legislative Appreciation Event.
A heartfelt thank you to our legislators for their hard work and dedication. We served Sweet Potato Crunch made with sweet potatoes from Delhi’s own Black Gold Farms, topped with pecans from Franklin Parish—and they were a hit!
We were also proud to showcase artifacts from the historic Poverty Point World Heritage Site in West Carroll Parish—highlighting the rich history and culture of our region.
