Second Suspect Sought in Folsom-Area Robbery

The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office is looking for a second suspect after a 19-year-old was

robbed at gunpoint in a rural area of Folsom on Tuesday evening (April 9, 2019).

The victim had made plans to meet with an acquaintance, who he identified as Cameron Perry (19) of Folsom, so the two could shoot guns. While the two were at the arranged location, a third individual got out of Perry’s vehicle holding a handgun and approached the victim. After robbing the victim of two firearms, Perry and the unidentified man left in Perry’s Dodge Charger.

Tuesday night, STPSO detectives located the vehicle in Covington and Cameron Perry was taken into custody without incident. At the time of his arrest, Perry was found to be in possession of Xanax and marijuana. He was booked on the charges of Armed Robbery, Armed Robbery with a firearm, Possession of Schedule IV CDS, and Possession of Schedule I CDS.

As part of the ongoing investigation, a search warrant was executed Wednesday at a Covington-area residence. The guns taken during the robbery and the gun believed to have been used in the robbery were all located and subsequently recovered at that residence.

Anyone with information about this crime or the identity of the second individual involved is asked to call Detective Ben Williams at (985) 726-7855 or (985) 898-2338.

TPSO Warns of “The unexpected price of a workout!”

Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff Daniel Edwards warns residents of a car thief or thieves are targeting unsuspected gym patrons. It began on April 2, 2019, as the TPSO and the Hammond Police Department began receiving multiple complaints from citizens reporting that their credit or debit cards were taken from their wallets and used to make excessive unauthorized purchases. It has been discovered the perpetrator(s) primarily targets elderly men who are going to the gym during the early morning hours. However, please don't be fooled. Thieves don't discriminate and anyone could be a target.

The investigative findings of these investigations have lead detectives to the unknown female in the attached photos. There are indications that the unidentified female is connected to these investigations. There is reason the believe she is a resident of Jefferson Parish and may live in the Westbank area.

If you recognize her or have information related to these crimes, please call Crime Stoppers at 800-554-5245. It's EASY and they pay in CASH. You aren't even required to give your name to be eligible to receive a cash reward.

The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office would also like to remind residents to please lock your car doors and if you must leave your valuables behind, hide them. The best thing to do while going to the gym is to carry your belongings with you and place them in secured locker.

TPSO's Newest K-9 Thwarts Drugs Intro Into Jail

TPSO K-9 Slash made his debut yesterday (April 9, 2019), when he thwarted the possible

introduction of illegal narcotics into the Tangipahoa Parish Jail. Slash was tasked with conducting free air sweeps on vehicles as they entered the jail property for inmate visitation. While conducted the sweeps, Slash alerted on a vehicle for the presence of a narcotics odor emitting from the vehicle.

Occupying the vehicle at the time were Martha Reed (50) of Mt. Hermon and Canekia Robertson (30) and an infant. Agents searched the vehicle and discovered a quantity of suspected marijuana. Agents believe the females were going to attempt to smuggle the suspected contraband into the jail.

Reed and Robertson were placed into custody for possession of CDS I, possession of drug paraphernalia, introduction of contraband into a correctional facility, and child desertion. Robertson was also charged with an outstanding warrant.

The infant child was released to a family member by the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services.

TPSO K-9 Slash is a one -year- old Fox Red Labrador Retriever who is trained in narcotics detection. Slash was purchased using funds that were previously seized and awarded to the the sheriff's office through the illegal distribution of narcotics throughout Tangipahoa Parish. K-9 Slash is currently assigned to the narcotics division to assist in narcotics related investigations. “The funds seized from local drug dealers and awarded to us are actually being used to buy assets and equipment that make our job easier,” said Sheriff Edwards.

Shortly after midnight on Tuesday morning, a 14-year-old and 16-year-old broke the front glass of a business on Highway 11 in Alton. During this incident, the duo stole more than $460 worth of cigarettes and tobacco products. Shortly thereafter, the two teenagers were caught on surveillance, stealing an exterior camera and ice from another nearby convenience store.

After receiving an anonymous tip, STPSO detectives located the teenagers in the nearby Eagle Lake Trailer Park Tuesday afternoon. They were attempting to give away what remained of the stolen cigarettes and tobacco products after smoking some of the stolen merchandise.

Both teenagers were arrested and booked into the Florida Parishes Juvenile Detention Center on the charges of Business Burglary, Criminal Damage, and Theft. The 14-year-old was also booked for Drug Law Violation after he was found to be in possession of marijuana.
