A search warrant netted three arrests Friday evening in Bayou Vista.

Shon Singleton, 17, was charged with possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled dangerous substance in the presence of a juvenile and violation of a drug free zone (Bayou Vista Civic Center).

Meanwhile, Dawn Mendoza, 27, was charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia, violation of drug free zone, keeping a disorderly place, possession of a controlled dangerous substance in the presence of a juvenile and obstruction of justice.

Dennis M. Gonzales, 24, was charged with possession of fraudulent documents (an identification card).

All three Todd Lane residents were arrested at 6:56 p.m. after agents with the St. Mary Multi-Jurisdictional Drug Task Force located approximately $5,000 of cocaine inside the residence. Agents also located marijuana and drug paraphernalia in the residence, Sheriff Mark Hebert said.

Agents also observed Mendoza attempting to throw cocaine from a window as they entered the residence, Hebert said. The age of the juvenile in the residence was not immediately available this morning.

Singleton and Mendoza remained incarcerated this morning with no bonds set. Gonzales posted a $1,000 bond and was released.

Elsewhere, Samuel A. Morgan II, 17, of River Road in Berwick was arrested Saturday at 12:57 p.m. for hit and run driving.

A deputy was called to Jessie Fontenot Boat Landing in Berwick to investigate an accident that occurred the previous day but was not reported. Morgan was issued a summons to appear in court.

Nepton K. Hatfield Jr., 55, of Tickfaw was arrested Friday at 8:55 a.m. for disturbing the peace, threatening a public official and criminal damage to property.

A deputy was called to Winston Services to quell a disturbance. When he arrived, the deputy learned Hatfield was intoxicated and had been fired from his job. He had been asked to leave the premises several times but refused, Hebert said.

The criminal damage charge derives from damage to security glass in a cell. The broken glass is valued at over $500.

Hatfield remained incarcerated this morning with no bond set.
