According to a Natchitoches Multi Jurisdictional Task Force official, on the morning of July 19, Agents of the NMJDTF executed a search warrant at a residence on Georgia Ann Street in reference to a ongoing narcotics investigation. This property was home to suspect Jason Jefferson Jr. and his girlfriend.

During the search of the residence, agents located a Glock 9mm (confirmed stolen), a Smith & Wesson 9mm, several suspected Oxycodone pills, a suspected Alprazolam pill, $3,853, and materials used in the packaging and distribution of illegal drugs. Agents also located 28 grams of suspected high grade marijuana hidden on Jeffersons person.

Jefferson booked and placed in the Natchitoches Parish Detention Center on the following charges:

1 count Possession of Marijuana with intent to distribute
1 count Possession of Schedule II drugs
1 count Possession of Schedule IV drugs
1 count Possession of drug paraphernalia
2 counts Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
1 counts Possession of a stolen firearm
2 counts Possession of a firearm with a controlled dangerous substance

The Natchitoches Multi-Jurisdictional Drug Task Force would like to thank the Citizens of Natchitoches for their support. Many times an investigation begins with a simple phone call or tip from a concerned citizen.
