About 14 grams of methamphetamine and some marijuana was seized and a man and a woman were arrested at their Chalmette home, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

The drugs were worth more than $1,500.

Kevin Brown, 27, and Hana Deeb, 26, both of 3309 Delambert Drive, Chalmette, were booked Sunday night, March 29, with possession of methamphetamine found in four bags, possession of a small amount of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, which was a digital scale.

Deputies went to the home after the Sheriff’s Office received a call about possible gun shots fired there. The call about gunfire turned out to be incorrect but once there deputies smelled the aroma of marijuana and drugs were spotted in view, the sheriff said.

Officers then obtained a search warrant from a judge and the methamphetamine, marijuana and the scale were found.

Brown has a previous marijuana conviction.

The man and woman were being held in St. Bernard Parish Prison.
