NEW ORLEANS — In the past few days, two young men were being investigated for hunting violations by state agents, who realized they'd discovered what sheriff deputies called "illegal drug activity."
Later, two Ascension Parish 21-year-olds and an Assumption Parish 19-year-old were booked with charges of having a variety of drugs, stolen weapons, cash, and equipment, a release from the Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office said.
Agents with the Louisiana Dept. of Wildlife & Fisheries Enforcement Division spoke to Pierre Par resident Brendan Scott Charlet, 19, and Gonzales resident Kade Leo Penn, 21, about allegations of illegal hunting.
That's when they figured it out.
