Assumption
Sheriff Leland Falcon reported these arrests:
—Tait Michael Guidry, 29, Texas Gulf Road, Bourg, was arrested Tuesday on charges of prohibited acts (Schedule II, Adderall), no seat belt, driving under a suspended driver’s license, driving on a roadway laned for traffic and failure to drive on right of road.
—Dorissa Ann Chauvin, 31, Dewey Street, Houma, was arrested Tuesday on a charge of prohibited acts (Schedule I).
The charges resulted from a Tuesday afternoon traffic stop on U.S. 90.
A uniformed patrol officer observed a vehicle commit multiple traffic violations and initiated a stop of that vehicle. The deputy made contact with the driver, identified as Guidry. The officer conducted an violator interview.
The deputy noted that the suspect was not following simple commands. The deputy opted to detain Guidry due to safety protocol. At this time, Guidry became belligerent and uncooperative.
The deputy made contact with the passenger, identified as Chauvin, and interviewed her as well. The deputy decided that additional investigation was warranted.
A K-9 conducted an open-air sniff of the vehicle, which produced a positive result for illegal controlled dangerous substances. A subsequent search resulted in the seizure of a quantity of the prescription drug identified as Adderall.
Tait and Guidry were booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center and remain incarcerated pending bond hearing.
