(AP) — An undercover investigation ongoing since April has led to charges against 48 accused drug dealers in Ascension Parish for distributing cocaine, heroin and other illegal substances.
U.S. Attorney Don Cazayoux, representing the Middle District of Louisiana, based in Baton Rouge, announced the charges Monday with federal, state and local law enforcement leaders.
Federal grand jury indictments were issued against 25 people, and state drug warrants were issued for 23 people. Cazayoux says most of the accused had been arrested by mid-day Monday.
