Just before noon on Nov. 24, deputies said they responded to a shoplifting complaint at a discount general store along La. Highway 1 in Raceland. Upon arrival, deputies made contact with the suspect, identified as Lonnie Truxillo, 46, of Raceland.
When deputies contacted Truxillo, they said he had several stolen items in his possession, as well as prescription pill bottles containing several drugs, including methamphetamine, alprazolam, clonazepam and Lorcet pills. Authorities said Truxillo had separated the drugs into small plastic bags commonly associated with the sale of illegal narcotics.
Truxillo was charged with theft by shoplifting and possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine, alprazolam, clonazepam and Lorcet. He remains in the Lafourche Parish Jail in lieu of a $25,250 bond. •
