Throughout the investigation, narcotics agents made undercover purchases of methamphetamine
An accused drug dealer was arrested Thursday when a months-long investigation ended in a search where deputies found fentanyl-laced meth.
The East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office started investigating Walter Dent, 44, in December 2022, after West Baton Rouge sheriff’s deputies identified him as a “methamphetamine trafficker” based in the capital city.
Throughout the investigation, narcotics agents made undercover purchases of methamphetamine from Dent and got search warrants for two Baton Rouge homes — one on Arlingford Avenue, and the other on Annette Street.
Thursday, agents took Dent into custody and executed both search warrants, seizing the following:
– 3.1 ounces of methamphetamine, laced with fentanyl
– 6 ounces of marijuana
– 3.4 ounces of THC gummies
– 1.3 ounces of psilocybin mushrooms
– 7.9 grams of THC wax
– 2.5 grams of heroin
– 1 suboxone strip
– 2 dosage units of Adderall
– digital scales
– Mannitol (a cutting agent)
– Glock 30 .45 caliber handgun
Dent was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on various drug possession and distribution charges, as well as illegal carrying of a firearm by a convicted felon and illegal carrying of a firearm with drugs.
