Members of the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Narcotics Division recently seized approximately 780 fentanyl pills from a man suspected to be dealing in the Covington area: 23 year-old Derrick McDowell.
On April 18, 2024, after receiving information that McDowell was regularly distributing narcotics in and around the Covington area, members of the STPSO Narcotics Division conducted a traffic stop on McDowell in the area of Joseph Road and Highway 36 near Covington. During that traffic stop, McDowell was found to be in possession of approximately 273 counterfeit pressed pills suspected to contain fentanyl. The pills were packaged for distribution, and McDowell was also found to be in possession of drug paraphernalia indicative of narcotics distribution.
This traffic stop led to the execution of a search warrant at McDowell’s residence in the 200 block of Vintage Drive near Covington. Detectives discovered approximately 507 more counterfeit pressed pills suspected to contain fentanyl, approximately 23 dosage units of Vyvanse, approximately 2.8 grams of marijuana and more additional drug paraphernalia indicative of narcotics distribution during that search. Approximately 492 of the suspected fentanyl pills were located in a WD-40 can that was outfitted with a hidden compartment on the bottom.
McDowell admitted to regularly distributing fentanyl pills to St Tammany Parish residents.
He was arrested and booked into the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center.
