The crash claimed the life of 59-year-old Clayton Ard of Loranger.</p><p>The initial investigation revealed that Ard was southbound on LA Hwy 40 on a bicycle. At the same time, a 2018 Hyundai Sonata was also southbound on LA Hwy 40 behind the bicycle. For reasons still under investigation, the Hyundai impacted the bicycle.</p><p>Ard sustained fatal injuries as a result of the crash. He was pronounced deceased on the scene. The driver of the Hyundai was properly restrained and was uninjured. This crash remains under investigation.</p><p>Louisiana State Troopers wish to remind bicyclists to never assume that a motorist can see you. Simple precautions such as wearing an approved bicycle helmet, reflective materials, and avoiding distractions are vital in preventing crashes and avoiding injuries. Louisiana law requires bicyclists to remain as close to the right side of the roadway as practicable and obey all traffic laws. Troopers would also like to remind motorists to always make good decisions while in a motor vehicle. Never drive impaired, fatigued, or distracted, follow all traffic laws, and always ensure every occupant is properly restrained.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912902631637583313.post-80316386780219836532024-03-26T11:12:00.000-05:002024-03-26T11:12:04.013-05:00Washington Parish Jail Bookings for March 25, 2024 <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLpy6YVPFcTy3yvqntH2GZg428JUld1YeWWzUYNdgv3vTyNNRdyNUDpWLtclTfzELRddR49CxScF4_-e7w8xOotQ4iDt8oxd17S2S0j_VLhPULIHuXScyCwNK9o6Tl-4edHliecKjNct0Hj8T-BNRs02mlDjilsTMIwKLtxUZXArzpCjETra5kIiJ4jfY/s577/bookings.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="227" data-original-width="577" height="126" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLpy6YVPFcTy3yvqntH2GZg428JUld1YeWWzUYNdgv3vTyNNRdyNUDpWLtclTfzELRddR49CxScF4_-e7w8xOotQ4iDt8oxd17S2S0j_VLhPULIHuXScyCwNK9o6Tl-4edHliecKjNct0Hj8T-BNRs02mlDjilsTMIwKLtxUZXArzpCjETra5kIiJ4jfY/s320/bookings.png" width="320" /></a>Jessica Gorsuch (age 37 with New Orleans, La. address) was booked on the charges of Possession of Drug Paraphernalia (3rd + Offense), Resisting an Officer, Possession of Schedule II Drugs, Prohibited Acts/Schedule II, Disturbing the Peace/Drunkenness, Driving Under Suspension, Introduction of Contraband to Correctional Facility, and Sale Distribution or Possession of Legend Drugs Without Prescription or Order.

After developing information regarding narcotics sales in the area, investigators traveled to a residence in the 20000 block of W. Spruce St. where probable cause was established for the issuance of a search warrant. A variety of drugs, two handguns, and assorted drug paraphernalia was located. Arrested were 45 year-old Shashamby Diaz and 26 year-old Ahmad Batiste. </p><p>2. After leaving the residence on W. Spruce, investigators conducted a traffic stop on N. Pontchartrain Drive and came into contact with 66 year-old David Williams. Williams had seven failure to appear attachments. He was arrested on attachments stemming from charges for Possession of Stolen Things, Theft, Possession of drug Paraphernalia, Possession of Schedule I CDS, Possession of Schedule II CDS and Refusal to Identify.</p><p>3. Detectives then traveled to Shirley Sweet Shop Road, after receiving information regarding possible narcotics sales in that area. While patrolling the area, detectives came into contact with 41 year-old Crystal Batiste who was arrested on charges of Possession of a Schedule I CDS (marijuana), Possession of Schedule II CDS (methamphetamine), and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia</p><p>4. Detectives also conducted a traffic stop on Sycamore Street, where contact was made with 28 year-old Daniel Hopkins and 40 year-old Heather Sharp. The investigation that followed revealed that the pair was in possession of approximately 3.8 grams of suspected fentanyl and they were arrested on various drug and traffic charges.</p><p>“The detectives in our Narcotics and Proactive Enforcement Units have taken a very proactive approach, working in the areas where we are receiving tips and information about suspected drug activity, to locate and arrest those individuals who are bringing these dangerous drugs into our community,” Sheriff Randy Smith said, “but it takes a partnership between law enforcement and citizens. I encourage everyone to continue calling in the tips when they see something suspicious in their neighborhood.”</p><p>Sheriff Smith is asking anyone with information about narcotics, or other crimes, to submit a tip utilizing the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office website (<a href="http://www.STPSO.com" target="_blank"><b>www.STPSO.com</b></a>), or by calling the narcotics tip line (1-888-GO-2-JAIL).</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912902631637583313.post-9413612021766171192024-03-25T16:30:00.000-05:002024-03-25T16:30:45.838-05:00Obituary<p><b>Jack Goff, Jr.</b></p><p><b>March 22, 2024<span></span></b></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>Jack R.
