Slidell Police arrested Tasia Singleton and Ramon Singleton Wednesday (12/07/16) after a traffic stop. Officers detected the odor of marijuana and observed a handgun on the floorboard in from of two children in the backseat. The officers acted immediately for their safety and the safety of the children and got the two front occupants out and secured the handgun.
Upon having SPD Dispatch do an NCIC search for the gun, it was learned that the gun was stolen out of New Orleans. Tasia Singleton and passenger Ramon Singleton were arrested on several charges, including Possession Of A Stolen Firearm, Contributing To The Delinquency Of Juveniles, No Child Restraint, and the original traffic violation.
Chief E.J. Howard stated: “this is just another example of the types of calls and incidents that Law Enforcement Officers handle on a daily basis. Thankfully in this incident no one was injured and the officers were able to secure the firearm before the child managed to grab it and possibly hurt himself or someone else”.
