WPSO Makes Drug Arrests North of Franklinton

While patrolling Highway 430 on February 1, 2020, Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office patrol

deputies Kyle Stogner and Chad Cassard made a traffic stop at the intersection of West Old Columbia Road. Both the driver of the vehicle and the passenger acted in a very nervous manner when

approached by the deputies.

Neither the driver nor the passenger had any form of identification on them. It was determined that the driver was Shedrick Spurlock, Jr. (21), a resident of Harvey Road north of Franklinton. The passenger was Robert Rawshell Harvey (42), a resident of Parker Street in Franklinton.

A pat-down search of Spurlock revealed plastic baggies containing illegal drugs in one of his pockets. A further search of the vehicle revealed various quantities of illegal drugs, including crack cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin.

Both Spurlock and Harvey were arrested and transported to the Washington Parish Jail on charges of possession with intent to distribute illegal narcotics. Both remain in jail with bonds set at $25,000.

“Two more knuckleheads victimizing our parish with illegal drugs,” stated Sheriff Randy Seal. “As I’ve said on many occasions, our alert and pro-active deputies solve many crime issues in Washington Parish. Thanks, Deputy Stogner and Deputy Cassard for a job well done making these arrests and assisting these two men to relocate to the confines of our jail.”
