SBSO ARRESTS TWO MEN ON NARCOTICS CHARGES
The St. Bernard Sheriff’s Office arrested two men on various narcotics charges following an investigation conducted by the Special Investigations Division Narcotics Unit, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.
Antoine Jackson, 19, of the 100 block of 4th Street in Chalmette, was booked with switched license plate, illegal tint, reckless operation, aggravated flight, three counts of aggravated criminal damage, two counts of negligent injuring, resisting an officer, simple criminal damage, aggravated obstruction of a highway, obstruction of justice, possession of marijuana, no driver’s license, and possession of a stolen vehicle.
Kentrell Jackson, 21, of the 100 block of 4th Street in Chalmette, was booked with possession of a stolen vehicle, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, possession of a firearm while in possession of a controlled dangerous substance, child endangerment, possession of a controlled dangerous substance while in the presence of a juvenile, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
After obtaining information that an adult male operating a black Lincoln MKZ was involved in the sales of narcotics and firearms, Narcotics Unit agents opened an investigation, the Sheriff said.
During the course of the investigation, agents learned the license plate displayed on the Lincoln MKZ was a switched plate that belonged to a silver Dodge Challenger.
Agents attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the Lincoln MKZ near St. Bernard Highway and Rowley Boulevard, but the driver, later identified as Antoine Jackson, refused to stop.
During the incident, Antoine Jackson lost control of the vehicle and crashed into two vehicles and then a brick planter in the parking lot of a business in the 7200 block of St. Claude Avenue in Arabi.
Once the vehicle came to a stop, Antoine Jackson exited the vehicle and fled on foot. After a brief struggle with agents, he was apprehended nearby and taken into custody.
Through further investigation, agents discovered that the Lincoln MKZ Antoine Jackson was driving was listed as stolen from Avis Car Rental. Agents also discovered that the Dodge Challenger that the switched license plate belonged to also was listed as stolen from Avis Car Rental.
The Challenger was found parked in an empty lot across the street from Antoine Jackson’s residence.
Based on their findings, agents obtained a search warrant for Antoine Jackson’s residence.
During the execution of the search warrant, agents came into contact with Kentrell Jackson.
Agents recovered the following items from the residence during the investigation:
➡️Two handguns, a Glock 30 .45 caliber and a Glock 22 .40 caliber
➡️Three handgun magazines
➡️One large clear plastic bag, along with several small clear plastic bags, containing a combined weight of 500 grams of marijuana with an estimated street value of $5,000
➡️Clear plastic bags
Both Antoine Jackson and Kentrell Jackson were transported to St. Bernard Parish Prison to be booked on the above charges.
Sheriff Pohlmann reminds residents to call the Sheriff’s Office narcotics hotline at (504) 271-DOPE or 3673 to report suspected illegal drug activity in St. Bernard Parish. Callers can remain anonymous, and all calls will be acted upon.
