A Chalmette man was arrested April 15 on various charges, including possession with intent to distribute marijuana and child endangerment, following a domestic dispute with the mother of his children, St. Bernard Sheriff James Pohlmann said. A handgun also was recovered in the incident.

Wilbert Green, 36, of the 2200 block of Volpe Drive in Chalmette, was booked with possession with intent to distribute marijuana, possession with intent to distribute THC, two counts of child endangerment, and illegal carrying of a weapon.

On April 15, at approximately 11 a.m., Sheriff Pohlmann said, deputies responded to a call about a domestic disturbance in the 2200 block of Volpe Drive in Chalmette.

When deputies arrived on the scene, they were met by a female who stated she had been in a verbal altercation with her children’s father, later identified as Green.

During the course of the investigation, deputies detected a strong odor of marijuana emitting from the residence. Based on their findings, detectives with the Criminal Investigations Bureau obtained a search warrant for the residence.

Detectives recovered a large amount of prepackaged, edible food items containing THC, numerous hand-rolled marijuana cigarettes, and a glass jar containing melted butter which contained cooked marijuana. The estimated street value for the edible items and narcotics is $3,400.

A 32 revolver handgun and $780 in cash were also recovered, Sheriff Pohlmann said.

Green was apprehended on the scene after he was found hiding in the attic of the residence. He was transported to St. Bernard Parish to be booked on the above charges.
