Subject Arrested on Gun, Drug Possession Charges at North I-10 Service Road at Bundy Road

The NOPD on July 20 arrested Emanuel Allen (DOB: 02-22-1993) on gun and drug possession charges after a traffic stop led officers to discover the items in a vehicle.

At about 9:03 p.m., Seventh District officers conducted a traffic stop for an observed moving violation. During the traffic stop, officers discovered the driver – identified as Allen – and his juvenile son inside of the vehicle. A search of the vehicle revealed approximately six grams of marijuana, a scale and a firearm with the serial number having been partially obliterated. Officers were able to run a check on the gun’s serial number and found the gun having been reported stolen from Jefferson Parish.

Prior to transporting Allen to Central Lockup for booking, officers relinquished Allen’s son to the care of the child’s mother, who arrived on scene.

Allen was booked into Central Lockup on charges of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of narcotics while in possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number and illegal possession of a stolen firearm. The juvenile’s presence in the vehicle along with the firearm brought an additional charge of improper supervision of a minor by a parent.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Seventh District detectives at 504-658-6070. Citizens with information that can help solve crimes are asked to call Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
