The search of the Jackie Street home then led detectives to search a home in the 400 block of Bayard Street in New Iberia where they found other stolen items including a handgun and two motorcycles.  They also found illegal narcotics

Three people were arrested at that time:

• 21-year-old Rusty Derouen was arrested for violation of a protective order and resisting an officer

Detectives also had warrants out for a fourth suspect, 42-year-old Scotty Latiolais of New Iberia.  He has been charged with:

• Possession of schedule II

• Possession of stolen property over 500
• Parole violation
• Possession with intent Schedule II
• Felon carrying illegal weapons
• Possession with fire arm with controlled dangerous substance

The stolen property that was recovered from these addresses come from Iberia and other parishes.
