An ongoing joint investigation conducted by the NOPD’s Tactical Intelligence Gathering and Enforcement Response unit (TIGER), Sixth District detectives and the FBI’s New Orleans Gang Task Force has led to the arrest of three individuals – Randy Calvin (pictured at left, DOB: 03-24-1991), Chance Skipper (pictured at center, DOB: 12-08-1995) and James Alexander (pictured at right, DOB: 03-20-1992) on drug-related charges.

During the investigation, the three arrested individuals were positively identified as perpetrators in an ongoing drug distribution operation investigation.

On March 1, 2018, investigators observed Skipper sitting on the porch of a residence in the 2400 block of South Robertson Street. Law enforcement officers moved in and apprehended Skipper and, upon further investigation, located and arrested the remaining two suspects inside of the residence.

A warranted search of the residence revealed two handguns and a semi-automatic rifle, as well as more than 100 grams of marijuana packaged for retail distribution.

The three subjects were each arrested and booked into the Orleans Parish Justice Center on charges of conspiracy to distribute heroin and distribution of heroin.

The three arrested individuals each currently face indictments secured by the Orleans Parish District’s Attorney’s Office on multiple narcotics and firearms charges.

Investigation remains active and ongoing. No further information is available at this time.

Anyone with additional information on these arrested individuals is asked to contact NOPD Sixth District detectives at 504-658-6060.

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.
