The Madison Parish Sheriff’s Office conducted a joint multi-agency operation on March 13 on Interstate 20 in Madison Parish.
The operation lasted four and a half hours. Six individuals were taken into custody on charges. Two of those individuals were wanted on felony charges in other jurisdictions.
During the operation, law enforcement seized illegal narcotics including cocaine, MDMA, crystal meth and fentanyl. Authorities also seized a few firearms.
The arrested individuals face charges that include simple possession, possession with intent and possession of a controlled dangerous substance in the presence of a firearm.

Madison Parish Sheriff Chad Ezell said he is proud of the work conducted by the joint multi-agency task force.
“They removed a good bit of illegal narcotics off the interstate,” Ezell said. “That makes us all a little safer.”
