St. Tammany Sheriff's Capt. George Bonnett reports that 23-year-old Shann Marshall, 22-year-old Brandon Quezergue, and 27-year-old Brice Cherry, all of Slidell, were charged with possession with the intent to distribute heroin, possession of Xanax, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia, monetary instrument abuse-counterfeit currency, and possession of a controlled dangerous substance in the presence of a juvenile. Marshall was also charged with possession of Hydrocodone. Quezergue was also charged with possession of Hydrocodone and Soma. The fourth suspect, 22-year-old Kinda Brown, also of Slidell, was charged with possession of marijuana.

The deputies, officers, and agents served a search warrant at 5:30 a.m. on Friday, August 15, at an apartment in the 200 block of Cleveland Street in Slidell. Once inside, Capt. Bonnett says the agents and deputies found the four suspects, Brown's two-year-old son, some 14 grams of heroin with an estimated street value of $2,500, marijuana, and various pills.

Capt. Bonnett adds that the investigation began earlier this summer.
