Agents obtained search warrants and found over 200 grams of heroin in Danos’ possession. The street value of the heroin is approximately $20,000. Inside the camper, agents discovered $3,200 in cash and a small amount of Suboxone later determined to belong to Robinson and Rebecca Hickox, 49, of Cut Off.
Agents also learned that Robinson was at a Larose motel. Agents proceeded to the motel and located Robinson and Kristin Williams, 35, of Galliano. They were found to be in possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
