Search for One Results in Five Arrests by WPSO

A search by Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office Drug Task Force detectives and  Louisiana Probation and Parole agents on Thursday (March 23, 2017) for Fallon Marie Barber (33) as a probation violator has led to her arrest and four others.
Officers first went to an address on Cordy Temples Road where they believed Barber was staying. Barber was not there and the resident Janice Gerald (72) was advised not to notify Barber and let her know officers were seeking her. When officers located Barber at a residence on Highway 424, they learned that she had been alerted by Janice Gerald and Chasity Nicole Gerald (39) that officers were on their way. They were both later arrested on the charge of obstruction of justice based on cell phone evidence.
At the Highway 424 residence, officers arrested Fallon Marie Barber, Joseph Kennedy (33) on the charges of possession of Schedule II drugs, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, and Ladarrius Taboah Carter (27), a resident of Brock Road, who was wanted by the Marion County Sheriff’s Office and who was charged with two counts of possession of Schedule II drugs, possession of marijuana, three counts of failure to appear and being a fugitive.

Sheriff Randy Seal commented. “This had the potential of being a very dangerous situation for our detectives and the Probation and Parole agents. The notification that officers were on their way to arrest Barber could have offered her enough notice to flee or even could have offered the opportunity to ambush the officers as they approached the residence. Fortunately, this did not occur. I am so grateful that all of the officers were safe. We are always concerned about officer safety and cannot tolerate anyone taking any action to jeopardize their safety.”
