Five suspects have been arrested to date:

• Brittney Squire, (21) was charged with drug trafficking and possession of stolen property
• Zachery Demontigny, (25) was charged with drug trafficking, possession of stolen property, and possession for the purpose of trafficking

• Timothy Davis, (29) was charged with drug trafficking, possession of stolen property, and cannabis possession for the purpose of distributing
