Assumption

Sheriff Leland Falcon report these arrests:

--Anthony Jerome Glasper Jr., 29, Iroquois Street, Baton Rouge, was arrested Monday on charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, no proof of insurance and no vehicle registration on person.

--Tamyron Carvell Glasper, 27, Iroquois Street, Baton Rouge, was arrested Monday on charges of possession of marijuana and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

--Markez Lakel Millican, 24, Carney Road, Baker, was arrested Monday on a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

--Hector Sanchez, 25, Boudreaux Road, Greensburg, was arrested Monday on charges of possession of marijuana and obstruction of justice.

A uniformed patrol deputy observed an eastbound vehicle with equipment violations and conducted a stop of that vehicle. The deputy made contact with the driver, now identified as Anthony Glasper, and ordered the driver and three passengers, now identified as Tamyron Glasper, Millican and Sanchez, to remove themselves from the vehicle.

The deputy noted a strong odor of suspected marijuana from the vehicle. The deputy also noted the presence of a handgun on the front passenger floorboard of the vehicle.

The deputy believed that additional investigation was warranted and requested the presence of a K-9 unit at the scene.

The K-9 conducted an open-air sniff of the suspect vehicle and alerted positive to the presence of controlled dangerous substances. A subsequent search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of multiple large-caliber handguns as well as suspected marijuana and assorted drug paraphernalia.

All four men were arrested and booked at the Assumption Parish Detention Center. Anthony Glasper, Tamyron Glaser and Millican remain incarcerated with bail set at $25,000.
Sanchez remains incarcerated awaiting a bond hearing.
