Sheriff’s narcotics agents arrest three in two investigations

Caddo Parish Sheriff’s narcotics agents arrested three Shreveport residents today in two unrelated investigations.

Closing a short-term investigation, at about 3 p.m., narcotics agents stopped a car driven by 36-year-old Deandra C. Humphries, in front of her 5880 Acorn residence. During the investigation, the agents seized two grams of methamphetamines valued at about $200. The agents booked Humphries at the Caddo Correctional Center at about 4:30 p.m. and charged her with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamines.

In an unrelated investigation , Sheriff’s narcotics agents executed a search warrant at 1452 Alma at about 6 p.m. In executing the warrant, the agents seized about one-eight ounce of methamphetamines with a street value of about $350, drug paraphernalia and more than $900 in cash. The agents arrested Thomas J. Barber, 57, and Soundra C. Albright, 32, both of 1452 Alma, and charged both of them with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamines and possession of drug paraphernalia. At time of the arrest, Barber was out of jail on bonds from both Caddo and Bossier Parishes for pending drug charges and Albright was on probation for a conviction on drug charges. Both were booked at the Caddo Correctional Center at about 9 p.m.

Humphries remains at the Caddo Parish jail with bond set at $5,187. Bonds had not been set on Barber or Albright at 10:30 p.m. today.
