Police recover four bags with 73 grams of cocaine from vehicle
Three men unaffiliated with the University were arrested Feb. 25 after LSU Police Department officers found 73 grams of cocaine and an open beer container in a vehicle.
Police stopped Dwight Armstrong, 22, of 5222 Blackmore Road in St. Francisville, for speeding at 1:30 a.m. on Nicholson Drive near South Stadium Drive. Armstrong was with Donnell Alexander, 33, of 2634 Duke St., and Gregory Cato, 37, of 3512 Dalton St., said Sgt. Blake Tabor, LSUPD spokesman.
Police searched the car and found an open beer next to Alexander’s seat. Police noticed a plastic bag under the speaker box on the back seat of the vehicle, Tabor said. The bag contained four smaller bags filled with 73 grams of cocaine, Tabor said.
Officers also discovered Cato had an outstanding warrant for theft of a motor vehicle in Florida, Tabor said.
Police transported the three men to the LSUPD office for investigation and then to East Baton Rouge Parish Prison, where they were booked and are awaiting trial or bond, Tabor said.
All three men were charged with possession with intent to distribute and possession of more than 28 grams of cocaine, Tabor said.
Armstrong was also charged with speeding, and Alexander was also charged with having an open container and resisting an officer by refusing to give identification information, Tabor said.
