Drug Arrest Made at Sportsman Inn in Bogalusa

On Monday (October 11, 2021) evening, a Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office deputy responded to a report of a disturbance in a room at the Sportsman Inn south of Bogalusa. Upon arrival, the officer encountered 34 year-old Kenneth Allen Marciniak, who gave two addresses, one in Kennesaw, Georgia, and the other in North Augusta, South Carolina.

After investigating the incident and searching Marciniak’s room with his permission, the deputy arrested him and transported him to the Washington Parish Jail. Marciniak was booked on charges of possession of heroin, possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of illegal narcotic pills and disturbing the peace through loud and abusive language. Marciniak’s bond was set at $15,000.

“Marciniak obviously did not have good intentions,” stated Sheriff Randy Seal. “Whether the illegal drugs were for personal use or for sale to others, the bottom line is they are now out of circulation. I commend our deputy for handling this situation in a professional manner and making the arrest.”
