Task Force Arrest, Middle District of
Louisiana |
|
Charles E. Porter was arrested by investigators from the Middle Louisiana
Fugitive Task Force. During a fugitive investigation, Porter was seen in the
area known to be frequented by the fugitive. Porter, who matched the physical
description of the fugitive, immediately became evasive when contacted by MLFTF
investigators. After the initial contact, Porter fled on foot for several
blocks. MLFTF investigators caught Porter and, after a brief struggle, took him
into custody. A search incident to arrest revealed 47 grams of Cocaine and a
digital scale. Porter was arrested and booked for possession with intent to
distribute and the cocaine was seized as evidence pending prosecution. Porter
has a long criminal history that includes five previous arrests for drug
offenses. |
