BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office narcotics
agents arrested a couple accused of dealing drug from home on Paducah
Court just off of George O'Neal Road.
Detectives charged Robin and Henrietta Mercer with possession of a
firearm with a controlled dangerous substance, possession of schedule II
drugs and possession with the Intent to Distribute marijuana, Xanabars
and Schedule II drugs .
EBR agents credit an alert postal worker who they say noticed
something suspicious about a number of packages addressed to the
suspects' next door neighbor. A K9 detection dog was brought to the post
office off of Coursey and detected the presence of narcotics after
surveying a set of packages.
Investigators then set up a sting operation and had the suspected
drugs delivered to the mailbox in question. According to the report,
they observed Robin Mercer retrieve the packages containing the drugs.
Agents say the couple had asked to borrow the neighbor's mailbox in order to have marijuana delivered.
"You know a lot of times this is just the tip of the iceberg,” said
Casey Hicks, spokesperson with the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office.
“It's what they had at the time, but when we think these people are out
there dealing with these drugs what we can do is not only get the drugs
off the streets but get the dealers off the street as well."
The sheriff's office claims it seized 8 lbs. of marijuana, $5,328,
plastic bags with 1,084 “xanabars,” ecstasy, various pain pills and
several guns.
The couple has since bonded out of East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
