Shedric Williams, 36, booked with heroin and cocaine

Claudette Allen, booked with cocaine and marijuana after she and a man were arrested for shoplifting.

A man on parole for guilty pleas involving heroin and cocaine was arrested on the same charges again when drugs were found on him after he refused commands to exit a vehicle when it’s driver was stopped for speeding, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

Also, a New Orleans woman was booked on cocaine and marijuana counts after she and a man were caught with stolen goods they had just shoplifted from an Arabi store, the sheriff said.

Shedric Williams, 36, of New Orleans, was booked May 23 with possession with intent to distribute 1.4 grams of heroin worth more than $300 on the streets and 4.6 grams of crack cocaine, worth more than $400.

Williams was initially booked with resisting an officer when he refused to get out of a vehicle stopped for speeding on West St. Bernard Highway in Arabi. A passenger in the vehicle, he was ordered out because he was seen by officers making furtive movements and shoving his hands into his rear waistband after the traffic stop, Sheriff Pohlmann said.

Agents from the sheriff’s Special Investigations Division removed him after a struggle when he refused to get out, the sheriff said. Williams was also wanted on traffic attachments from New Orleans.

Taken to St. Bernard Parish Prison, where new prisoners are searched before entering the inmate population, the heroin and cocaine were found secreted on his body.

Williams, who was on parole until later this year from his 2009 drug convictions, is jailed without bond.

In the unrelated case, Claudette Allen, 47, and Wayne Marshall, 32, who live together in New Orleans, were booked May 28 with theft of goods at a store in Arabi. They were caught with stolen items in their vehicle as they tried to leave the parking lot after store officials called the Sheriff’s Item to report the shoplifting, the sheriff said.

Allen was also booked with illegal possession of a pill found in their vehicle, which she said was hers.

But Allen was also booked with possession with intent to distribute 1.5 grams of crack cocaine packaged in four bags and 2.4 grams of marijuana packaged in three bags. The drugs were found under the backseat of the squad car that took her to jail after she was seen moving about in the seat.

After the discovery, Allen began laughing and said, “Oh yeah. That’s mine,’’ according to a sheriff’s report of the arrests.

Allen is jailed in lieu of bond set at $37,500 and Marshall is held in lieu of $5,000 bond.
