A man also was arrested on 19 charges during the narcotics raid in Ruston.
RUSTON, La. (KSLA) — It looks like narcotics agents seized a bunch of candy during a drug investigation.
But a closer look at the packets of Skittles, Sweetarts, Nerds, Lemonheads and other candies reveals they are not the authentic brand packaging.
Authorities say the 71 packages, in fact, contain THC-laced edibles.
And the man who agents arrested when they seized the candy lookalikes is accused of dealing drugs near a school or place of worship, Lincoln Parish sheriff’s Sgt. Matt Henderson said.
The arrest occurred when DEA agents and members of the Lincoln Parish Narcotics Enforcement Team and the Sheriff’s Office’s special response team raided a house Tuesday in the 600 block of Minden Street in Ruston.
In addition to the THC-laced edibles, they reported finding and confiscating:
two handguns,
more than $14,000,
three bottles of promethazine syrup,
27 Xanax pills,
45 Percocet pills,
130 units of Ecstasy,
16 Suboxone strips,
about 42 grams (about 1.5 ounces) of powder cocaine, and,
about three pounds of marijuana.
Christopher Lewayne Cage Jr., 24, was arrested at 11 a.m. Tuesday and booked into the Lincoln Parish Detention Center at 1:02 p.m. the same day, booking records show.
He faces 19 charges including:
four counts of violating a drug-free zone,
three counts possession of Ecstasy with intent to distribute, and,
two counts each of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and possession of Xanax with intent to distribute.
Cage also is charged with one count each of:
possession of Percocet with intent to distribute,
possession of Suboxone with intent to distribute,
possession of Adderall with intent to distribute,
possession of marijuana with intent to distribute,
possession of promethazine syrup with intent to distribute,
illegal carrying of a weapon during a CDS felony,
possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and,
possession of drug paraphernalia
He remains in the parish lockup with his bonds totaling $445,000.
Agents also arrested 27-year-old Paula Harris on a charge of letting a disorderly place.
I don't know what's wrong with the image. The one on the original site is better.

This sucks but honestly fuck the people who make medicated candies and make it look like the original non-medicated stuff. I understand the whole wanting to be stealth, and the humorous novelty of it, but the fact is kids are more likely to eat something that looks like it's made for them. The only difference being the word "medicated" isn't enough.
It makes drug users look bad.

Was there a drug zone?
Quote:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/legal/drug-free%20zone
: a statutorily designated area or place (as a public park or beach or a school bus) within which the distribution of or possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance is an aggravated felony especially
: such an area including and extending outward usually 1000 feet from the real property of a public or private school
it is irrelevant whether a person is aware that he or she is carrying on the prohibited drug activity in a drug-free zone — State v. Silva-Baltazar, 886 P.2d 138 (1994)
OSHA comes up in the search results.

Pretty basic low level dealer. Having those guns and being in a school zone is going to fuck him. $445,000 bail is insane. He's not going anywhere for a while.

Near a place of worship? Do churches get the same drug free zone treatment as schools?
Jesus christ, there are so many churches in the bible belt I'm not sure how you are ever NOT in a drug free zone.

Get a lawyer before you get in trouble, and maybe find another to hold rainy day money
