A man was booked with $1,000 in crack cocaine and with being a felon in possession of firearms after his girlfriend called the Sheriff’s Office to report two guns were stolen from a car, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

Rayvinel Colbert, 29, is being held in St. Bernard Parish Prison without bond. He was booked Sept. 22 with being a convicted felon in illegal possession of two firearms, possession with intent to distribute 10 grams of crack cocaine worth about $1,000 and possession of a small amount of marijuana. He previously has a burglary and drug conviction.

His girlfriend, who lives in Chalmette, called to report two guns were missing in a car burglary.

But investigating detectives determined there had not been in a burglary in St. Bernard Parish, the sheriff said.

Further investigation led to detectives getting a search warrant for the house, where two guns and drugs were found. Ammo was also recovered.

                                                                         Drugs, guns and other items recovered in the arrest of Colbert.
