On March 21, 2025, LPSO was contacted by the Bogalusa Police Department requesting an attempt to locate Ivan Fletcher following a shooting in its jurisdiction. Bogalusa investigators indicated that Fletcher and his girlfriend - Maya Price - arrived in the area for Price to engage in a fistic encounter. According to investigators, Fletcher began firing a handgun into a vehicle occupied by five subjects - with one possibly being a 5 month old. BPD obtained arrest warrants on the couple, charging Fletcher with 5 counts of Attempted First Degree Murder and Price with 5 counts of Principal to Attempted First Degree Murder.
Narcotics Agents with the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office have been investigating a local gang - referred to as the ‘Motion Gang’. Sheriff Jason Ard says, “Through the scope of the investigation, LPSO Agents learned this is a ‘hybrid gang’ in the Springfield, Hammond and Ponchatoula areas. Members primarily engage in illegal narcotics distribution and street violence and consist of adults and juveniles. Agents identified multiple members and found a common place for them to hang out and distribute illegal narcotics was Pardue Road in Springfield.”
Sheriff Ard says, “On March 24, 2025, LPSO Agents began conducting surveillance of the known "Motion Gang" hangout on Pardue. Agents observed Fletcher in his vehicle and began to follow him. When Fletcher travelled into Tangipahoa Parish, LPSO Agents requested the assistance of TPSO narcotics. Fletcher and Price were stopped on I-12 at the Hammond exit and were taken into custody by Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office.”
Fletcher's vehicle was towed back to Livingston. Search Warrants were secured and LPSO Agents
located the following: approx 180 grams of marijuana, approx 4 dosage units of Oxycodone, approx 2 dosage units of pressed fentanyl pills, approx 30 fl oz of promethazine, THC vape carts, 3 handguns, 2 - 22 caliber rifles, 1 - 7.62 caliber AR style pistol (reported stolen), and $4,561 US Currency (pending seizure).
Sheriff says, “This is not the type of activity we want to see here. We’re investing our time & attention into making sure gang members are not comfortable here. Gang-type activity will NOT be tolerated. We’re watching. We’re sharing information with our partner agencies. Citizens, see something? Say something. Let’s work together to protect our community.”
