Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement agents in coordination with Louisiana State Police arrested a subject for alleged drug violations in New Orleans on Feb. 15.
Agents arrested Leonard Crittindon, Jr., 24, of New Orleans, for possession with intent to distribute marijuana, possession with intent to distribute cocaine and resisting an officer.
The arrest followed a "Be On Look Out" (BOLO) report received by LDWF agents on Feb. 14. The report described a male suspect in a camouflage jacket and black pants who was removed from an establishment in the 500 block of Bourbon St. for allegedly dealing drugs in the women’s restroom.
On Feb. 15 at approximately 5 p.m., agents spotted an individual matching the description, later identified as Crittindon, walking in the 500 block of Bourbon St. Upon making contact, Crittindon resisted the officers. Following a brief struggle, agents discovered he was in possession of 3.6 grams of suspected cocaine, 41.9 grams of suspected marijuana and $2,138 in cash.
Agents arrested Crittindon and booked him into the Orleans Parish Jail. Agents also seized the narcotics and cash as evidence.
Possession with intent to distribute the amount of marijuana and cocaine that Crittindon possessed brings up to a $50,000 fine and one to 10 years in jail for each offense. Resisting an officer brings up to a $500 fine and six months in jail.
Agents participating in this case are Sgt. Emily Sexton, Sgt. James Bruce, Sgt. Josh Harris and Senior Agent Grayson Parker.
