GREENWOOD, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – An investigation into a report of a dog mauling on Friday ended with the seizure of guns and drugs and a Greenwood man headed back to prison.
According to a release from the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office, 24-year-old Derrick Johnson was arrested after deputies responded to a call that two dogs mauled their dog then dragged their dog to a home in the 4800 block of Fawn Lane just before 8:30 p.m.
Caddo deputies approached Johnson as he was exiting his vehicle. At that time they noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from Johnson’s car. Deputies learned that Johnson was a convicted felon, which led them to get a search warrant for the property.
During the search, deputies found two rifles, two pistols, and 13 large bags containing approximately 13.6 pounds of marijuana with a street value of nearly $62K.
Johnson was arrested and booked into Caddo Correctional Center and charged with possession with intent to distribute schedule I marijuana, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm with a controlled deadly substance (CDS) and at-large dogs in municipalities, subdivision, other.
