RACELAND (AP) — Deputies answering a domestic violence call found almost $60,000 worth of marijuana inside the Raceland home.
The Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office says deputies were questioning 51-year-old Cornel Chauvin and his ex-wife, 47-year-old Patricia Savoin Chauvin, who told deputies they were arguing when Chauvin hit her on the shoulder. The Chauvins, though divorced, live together.
WWL-TV reports deputies, during the visit, saw marijuana plants growing in the home. Each said the other owned the plants.
