A Slidell woman and convicted felon, 33-year-old Shirrica Smith, was arrested this week on
multiple charges related to narcotics distribution, firearms possession and other violations after illegal narcotics were found in her vehicle during a traffic stop.
Detectives with the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office Proactive Enforcement Unit were patrolling in the Slidell area on March 24, 2026 when they conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle being driven by Smith. During that traffic stop, detectives located fentanyl, drug paraphernalia and a firearm in the vehicle and Smith was taken into custody. Smith’s 4-year-old child was inside the vehicle at the time of the traffic stop.
Personnel at the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center located additional quantities of suspected “green rock” fentanyl, crack cocaine and methamphetamine concealed within her buttocks during the intake process at the facility, resulting in additional charges for Smith.
Smith was and booked into the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center on numerous traffic, illegal narcotics, and other offenses.
The child was released into the care of a family member.
