And following up on that wild Sunday shootout in Ladyville….it happened on Pigeon Street, where bullets rang out and penetrated the homes of unsuspecting residents. Police immediately went on a round up operation and busted 6 men with drugs.
A team of officers from Ladyville went searching in the area immediate after shooting, and they decided to visit a house nearby. According to the officers, 41 year-old John Fuller Sr, 26 year-old Errol Andrews, 27 year-old Reuben Depaz, 32 year-old Sanjay Rudon, 39 year Alfred Smith, and a 16 year-old minor were all in the house at the time.
Well, it seems that the men realized that police were coming to conduct a raid, and one of them tried to throw a bag of weed into the backyard. The only problem was that in his haste, the man stoned one of the police officers in the face with the drugs. He didn't realize that the officers had surrounded the house.
The drugs were weighed in their presence, which amounted to 104.5 grams - or 3.7 ounces - of marijuana. All 6 men were charged with drug trafficking, and they were arraigned before Magistrate Dale Cayetano, where they all pleaded not guilty. They were granted bail of $5,000, and they must return to court on May 20.
All 6 men claimed that Ladyville police brutalized them when they arrived at the house.
