An apparently routine traffic stop occupied Brock White, 42, while officers on a special drug enforcement team executed a warrant to search his Leon Drive home.
Authorities said they had received complaints about alleged drug trafficking at the residence.
White was ticketed for obstructed view excessive tint but what was allegedly discovered at the house is the revelation, and gives an insight as to why an unoccupied search was requested in the warrant application.
The search, according to authorities, yielded two 12-gauge shotguns, two AR-15 style rifles, an AR pistol, a handgun, a Mini Drako AK-47 style, several magazines and a large assortment of ammunition and body armor as well as drugs.
White, no stranger to the Rapides lockup, was booked on several counts of seven alleged felonies. Bail was set at $550,000.
Charges include unlawful use/possession of body armor, probation violation, illegal possession of stolen firearm, illegal carrying firearms with drugs six counts and six counts of firearm possession by convicted felon.
White is also accused of possession, manufacture, distribution, dispense, possession with intent CDS II < 28 grams or analogues thereof to counts, CDS IV and 2.5 pounds marijuana or more.
White was most recently booked last August on a contempt charge and posted $10,000 bond the next day.
Prior to that he was jailed on March 23, 2022 and charged with a traffic violation – improper lane usage.
Other charges from that stop included possession CDS I < 2 grams, possession weapons by convicted felon, illegal carrying firearm and two counts of contempt of court. He posted $25,000 bond the next day.
Three years earlier, October 2019, he was charged with alleged possession, manufacture, distribution, dispense, possession with intent of CDS I, II and III, as well as three firearms violations. He posted $55,000 bond the next day.
According to records, White was stopped in July 2018 for alleged improper license display, and possession CDS I 3rd. He posted $1,600 bond two hours after booking.
