Acting on information provided by jail personnel from the Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office, agents from the WPSO Drug Task Force and the DEA conducted surveillance in the Sheriff’s Office parking lot the evening of November 8, 2017. Jail personnel had discovered a plan by inmate Michael Miller (30) of Bogalusa for his girlfriend, Shirae Gabrelle Brister (26) of Bogalusa to bring in contraband to the jail for him during visiting hours.
Agents surveilled Brister as she drove around Franklinton and entered the Sheriff’s Office parking lot with the contraband items concealed in a fast food restaurant bag as Michael Miller had directed her to do. She exited with the bag in hand, entered the jail lobby, exited the lobby quickly with the bag and placed the bag back in her car. Agents approached her vehicle and detected a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the car. A subsequent search of Brister’s car revealed the fast food bag which contained both tobacco and marijuana.
Brister was charged with possession of marijuana and attempted introduction of contraband. Inmate Michael Miller was charged with attempted introduction of contraband.
Sheriff Randy Seal commented. “Persons who possess a criminal mindset never stop trying, even while they are in jail. Miller is a career criminal and it seems that Brister is doing her best to be the same. Three great groups of people combined their efforts to prevent this contraband from entering the jail. Our fine jail personnel, our Drug Task Force agents and our partner Drug Enforcement Agency officers did an outstanding job. Even while our good citizens are enjoying the comforts of home, our officers are on duty and working hard to protect and serve everyone in Washington Parish.”
