Three Chalmette men arrested for possession with the intent to distribute marijuana and stolen handgun

Three Chalmette men were arrested Oct. 10 with possession with the intent to distribute marijuana and two handguns, one of which was reported stolen, were recovered during the course of an undercover investigation conducted by the St. Bernard Sheriff’s Office Special Investigations Division Narcotics Unit, St. Bernard Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

Izeah White, 22, of the 3300 block of Golden Drive in Chalmette, was booked with  possession with the intent to distribute marijuana, possession of a stolen firearm, possession of a firearm while in possession of a controlled dangerous substance, and felony possession of a firearm.  

Dorian Charles, 23, of West Carolina Drive in Chalmette, was booked with possession with the intent to distribute marijuana, possession of a stolen firearm, possession of a firearm while in possession of a controlled dangerous substance, and felony possession of firearm.  

Emon Thompson, 20, of the 3300 block of Golden Drive in Chalmette, was booked with possession with the intent to distribute marijuana, possession of a firearm while in possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of a stolen firearm, and possession of drug paraphernalia.  

After obtaining a search warrant for White and Thompson’s residence on Golden Drive, agents recovered 60 grams of marijuana, a .9mm handgun which was reported stolen out of New Orleans, a .10mm handgun, and drug paraphernalia, including clear plastic bags and a digital scale, the Sheriff said.

All three subjects were transported to St. Bernard Parish Prison to be booked.

A criminal history check was conducted on all three subjects which revealed Charles and White both have prior felony convictions.  

Charles and White are both being held in St. Bernard on $100,000 bonds.   

Thompson was released Oct. 15 on a $55,000 bond, but was transferred to Orleans Parish Prison on outstanding warrants out of the New Orleans Sheriff’s Office and the New Orleans Police Department.

Sheriff Pohlmann reminds residents to call the Sheriff’s Office narcotics hotline at (504) 271-DOPE or 3673 to report suspected illegal drug activity in St. Bernard Parish. Callers can remain anonymous, and all calls will be acted upon.
