Three Indicted in St. Tammany Parish
District Attorney Collin J. Sims announces that on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, a St. Tammany Parish Grand Jury returned true bills indicting three individuals on serious felony charges across two separate cases, including Second Degree Murder, Fentanyl distribution, and juvenile molestation.
The Grand Jury returned indictments against the following defendants:
- Aaron Sylvester, 46, of New Orleans, was indicted for Second Degree Murder. The charge stems from the July 9-10, 2026, murder of a man in St. Tammany Parish, wherein the defendant is alleged to have sold the victim a fatal dose of Fentanyl.
- Tracy Marie McMurtry, 46, of New Orleans, was indicted for Possession with Intent to Distribute Less Than 28 Grams of Fentanyl. The charge alleges that on or between July 9 and July 10, 2026, McMurtry knowingly possessed Fentanyl with the intent to distribute or dispense the Schedule II controlled substance. McMurtry was arrested by law enforcement on August 26, 2026.
- Orry Nicholas Mejia, 43, of Covington, was indicted on two felony counts of molestation of a juvenile following his arrest on May 1, 2026: Count 1: Molestation of a Juvenile Involving Control or Supervision (Recurring Over One Year) - Alleging lewd and lascivious acts committed against a juvenile victim between September 7, 2020, and August 31, 2024, by leveraging a position of control or supervision over a period exceeding one year. Count 2: Molestation of a Juvenile Involving Control or Supervision - Alleging lewd and lascivious acts committed against a second juvenile victim between December 5, 2022, and December 4, 2023, by leveraging a position of control or supervision.
Assistant District Attorney Iain Dover is handling the Sylvester and McMurty case. The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Fentanyl Overdose Response Team (FORT). "Fentanyl is a poison in our community, and when it claims a life, we treat it with the immediate urgency of a homicide investigation,” said District Attorney Collin Sims. “Thanks to the swift, thorough work of the DEA FORT team and our prosecutors, we were able to bring these serious charges to a Grand Jury in less than eight weeks. We will continue to act aggressively to remove these dealers from our streets.”
Assistant District Attorney Zachary Popovich is handling the Mejia case. The case was investigated by the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office. "Protecting the children of our community from abuse and exploitation is one of the highest obligations of this office. Anyone who abuses a position of trust, control, or supervision to harm a child will face the full weight of the law. I commend ADA Zachary Popovich and the investigators involved for their painstaking work to ensure these serious allegations are brought to justice," said DA Sims.
Following these indictments, all three defendants will be scheduled for formal arraignments in the 22nd Judicial District Court, where they will enter their pleas.
An indictment is an accusation that a defendant has committed a crime. Every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
Two Wanted in Loranger Shooting
The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office has issued arrest warrants for two people in connection with a shooting incident that injured three people on May 21, 2026 in a mobile home park in the Loranger area. 50-year-old Veronica Johnson and 18-year-old Jamarcus Johnson are both wanted for Aggravated Assault. Jamarcus Johnson is also wanted for Aggravated Assault Upon a Dating Partner and Battery of a Dating Partner connected to an unrelated incident.

On May 21, 2026, the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office (TPSO) was called out to North St. Charles Avenue in the Loranger area for multiple reports of shots fired. Upon deputies’ arrival at the shooting scene, no victims were initially found, but evidence of multiple shots fired was located. Then it was learned that three victims, who received non-life-threatening injuries, were taken to a local hospital by private vehicle before deputies arrived. The three victims were a 50-year-old woman, a 17-year-old male, and a 33-year-old woman.
Deputies also learned that two groups got into a verbal dispute in the neighborhood. Residents emerged from their homes to try to intervene and get the groups to leave. However, that turned into an exchange of gunfire and the circumstances leading up to that are still under active investigation. The Johnsons (unknown relation at this time) were identified as having come to the neighborhood with the gun that was used in the shooting. The individual who fired the weapon was determined to have acted in self-defense and will not face charges.
Anyone with information about the Johnsons’ whereabouts can contact our Criminal Investigations Division at 985-902-2088. If you’d prefer to share information anonymously, you can do so through Crime Stoppers of Tangipahoa’s tip line at 1-800-554-5245 or visit www.tangicrimestoppers.com and click on the P3 Tips icon or Submit A Tip! You may be eligible for a cash reward.

STPSO & Partners Celebrate National Night Out
The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office will be partnering this year with local municipal police departments and neighborhoods throughout the parish to celebrate National Night Out on Tuesday, October 6. 2026.
National Night Out is a nationwide crime prevention initiative designed to strengthen partnerships between law enforcement and the communities they serve. The event encourages residents to come together with their neighbors and local law enforcement to promote crime prevention, neighborhood awareness and community involvement.
STPSO deputies will join officers from local municipal police departments at community events in Mandeville, Slidell and Covington, building on the already successful events these agencies host each year.
The Mandeville event will take place at the Mandeville Trailhead from 5-8 p.m., the Covington event at the Covington Trailhead from 5-8 p.m. and the Slidell event at Heritage Park from 4:30-8 p.m.
For those living on the northern end of the parish, we will host an event at our 4th District Station, 81651 Highway 21, in Bush, from 5-8 p.m. that evening.
The free, family-friendly events will include information on community resources, tables from local nonprofit organizations and community groups, food, fun and a variety of children’s events and activities.
By working together, the participating law enforcement agencies hope to reinforce the message that keeping St. Tammany Parish safe is a shared effort that extends beyond jurisdictional boundaries.
“Keeping our communities safe takes all of us working together,” Sheriff Bret Ibert said. “National Night Out strengthens the relationships between our residents and law enforcement while also highlighting the strong partnerships we have with our municipal police departments. Criminals don’t pay attention to jurisdictional lines, and neither do we when it comes to working together to keep St. Tammany Parish safe.”
In addition to the larger community events, STPSO deputies will visit registered neighborhood National Night Out gatherings throughout St. Tammany Parish, giving residents an opportunity to meet and interact with the deputies who patrol their communities. However, residents are encouraged to attend one of the larger events, where they can meet deputies and officers from multiple agencies, learn more about available community resources and enjoy a variety of activities for the entire family.
Neighborhoods planning their own National Night Out celebration are encouraged to register their event with the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office so deputies can stop by and join in the activities. Neighborhood events can be registered on the STPSO website – www.STPSO.com – under Community Programs tab.

Following a multi-agency collaboration, a convicted felon has been put back behind bars after being found with multiple weapons and drugs. Anthony Thomas, age 28, has been booked on two counts each of Possession of Weapons while in Possession of Controlled Dangerous Substances (CDS) and Convicted Felon in Possession of a Firearm along with one count each of Possession of Schedule II Narcotics, Illegal Possession of a Stolen Firearm, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Resisting Arrest, Obstruction of Justice and Violating Parole.
***All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty***
Earlier this week, the Louisiana Department of Probation and Parole (P&P) connected with the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office (TPSO) and Hammond Police (HPD) to conduct a compliance check on Thomas. He previously served time for Aggravated Assault with a Firearm and Illegal use of Weapons.
Following the compliance check, which resulted in Thomas’ arrest for the parole violation, a subsequent investigation began. Both agencies’ Narcotics Divisions and Street Crimes teams then executed a search warrant at a home off of Airport Road in the Hammond area. The teams found three pistols, three AR-Style pistols, and the ammunition and accessories for them, as well as Marijuana and illegally obtained prescription pills.
A 22-year-old man, who was also at the home at the time of the operation, was also arrested on several drug-related charges.
Sheriff Gerald Sticker wants to commend this proactive, collaborative effort with our partners at P&P and Hammond Police for getting this dangerous individual back behind bars.

Crapemyrtle Bark Scale Continues to Affect Louisiana Landscapes
Crapemyrtle bark scale (CMBS) has been present in southeast Louisiana for over ten years now. Recent questions from clients, as well as the finding of an infestation in my own yard, have prompted me to address the topic again and in more depth.
These insects are members of the felt scale family. They live on bark of crape myrtle trees, feeding on plant sap. Like other felt scales and soft scales, they excrete a sugary substance called honeydew. Sooty mold, made up of various fungal species, grows on the honeydew.
Oftentimes, the reason people notice that they have a problem is not because they see the insects themselves but because sooty mold makes the trunks of the crape myrtles appear black. Sometimes, plants under the crape myrtles have sooty mold on them, too, since honeydew drops from the crape myrtles onto other plants.
Over time, the infested crape myrtles become less vigorous and produce fewer flowers. Young trees may be more severely affected.
My recent delving into CMBS biology was prompted in part by the question of whether it feeds on plants other than crape myrtles. It does. In its native range, it’s been found to infest a number of other hosts. In the US, the list of hosts it’s been reported from is limited and includes spirea (Spiraea japonica and S. thunbergii), a species of St. Johnwort (Hypericum kalmianum) that doesn’t commonly grow this far south, and, to my dismay, our native American beautyberry (Callicarpa americana).
To catch a CMBS infestation early, before sooty mold is widespread, I suggest checking your crape
myrtles from time to time for the white, cotton-like coverings of the adult females and eggs or of the male pupae so that, if desired, you can take steps to manage them while the population is small. These white structures are roughly 1 to 3 mm long, or less than one-eighth of an inch in length. They do not move. Only juveniles (nymphs) and winged adult males move. Under the cottony coverings, CMBS bodies and eggs are typically pinkish in color.
CMBS bodies are sometimes hidden under the peeling bark of crape myrtles or under lichens, so look closely when checking for them.
There are larvae of some lady beetles, such as Hyperaspis bigeminata, that feed on CMBS and are also white and cottony looking. It’s important to distinguish between the bad guys and the good guys, since if you have a lot of the latter, that may change how you decide to treat (or not treat) the plant. One way to distinguish lady beetle larvae from CMBS is that the former will likely move if they’re disturbed.
Note that the presence of sooty mold doesn’t necessarily mean that you have CMBS. Aphids often live on crape myrtle leaves, and they also excrete honeydew, resulting in sooty mold growth on leaves. If sooty mold is primarily on leaves, aphids are likely the culprit, but it covers much of the trunks and branches, you likely have CMBS.
I will address CMBS management in the next article.
Let me know if you have questions.

Angie Man Convicted of Murder in Fentanyl Death
District Attorney J. Collin Sims reports that on Thursday (August 27, 2026), a Washington Parish jury returned a guilty verdict in just 30 minutes, finding 43-year-old Derrick Fairley of Angie, Louisiana, guilty as charged of Second Degree Murder and Possession with Intent to Distribute Fentanyl. The verdict was rendered following a trial before the Honorable District Judge Martin Coady. Sentencing is scheduled for September 4, 2026. Fairley faces a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment at hard labor without the benefit of parole, probation, or suspension of sentence.

The conviction stems from the fatal overdose of 34-year-old Roxanne Fortenberry on December 15, 2024. Washington Parish Sheriff's Office (WPSO) deputies responded to a residence on Wardline Road where Fortenberry was discovered deceased in her bed. An autopsy and toxicology screening conducted by the Coroner's Office subsequently confirmed that Fortenberry died of a lethal dose of Fentanyl.
A forensic analysis of the victim’s cell phone conducted by WPSO detectives uncovered text messages from December 13, 2024, in which Fortenberry arranged to purchase $100 worth of suspected Heroin from a drug dealer identified as "Dee.” Investigators traced the phone number directly to Fairley, a known narcotics dealer with an extensive criminal history.
On December 16, 2024, undercover officers with the WPSO and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Fentanyl Overdose Response Team (FORT) utilized the victim's cell phone to set up a controlled drug buy with Fairley. When Fairley arrived at the victim's driveway, law enforcement surrounded the vehicle. As officers activated their emergency lights, Fairley handed a concealed bag of brownish powder to his female passenger, apologizing to her as he instructed her to hide the narcotics. Field tests confirmed the substance contained Fentanyl.
Assistant District Attorneys Iain Dover and Tiffany Dover prosecuted the case on behalf of the State. During closing statements, ADA Iain Dover emphasized the consequences of narcotics trafficking, stating, "The defendant sold the victim a death sentence, and with the money he received, bought himself a life sentence.”
District Attorney Collin Sims commended the actions of law enforcement and the prosecution team following the verdict. "Fentanyl is a deadly poison that continues to devastate families across our community. This verdict sends a clear message: if you deal fatal doses of Fentanyl in Washington Parish, my office will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law for murder," said District Attorney Collin Sims. "I want to commend the dedicated work of our prosecution team, lead WPSO investigator Captain Chad Cassard, and our law enforcement partners who acted swiftly to take this violent repeat offender off our streets.”
Washington Parish Sheriff Jason Smith stated, “Unfortunately, we continue to have people in our community who manipulate others in their lowest moments in order to make money. Thankfully, in Washington Parish, I have some exceptional deputies who will not stop going after the people who take advantage of others. Today was a win; there will be more.”
"Fentanyl is a lethal poison, and those who trade human lives for profit must face swift justice," said DEA New Orleans Special Agent in Charge John P. Scott. "This conviction highlights the vital impact of our Fentanyl Overdose Response Team working alongside local partners to pull deadly traffickers off our streets."
DA Sims extends special recognition to the joint law enforcement effort that led to the apprehension and conviction of Fairley, including the Washington Parish Sheriff's Office, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Fentanyl Overdose Response Team (FORT), the U.S. Secret Service, the Louisiana State Police, and the Bogalusa Police Department.
