The following is a Press Release from the Calcasieu Parish
Sheriff's Office:
On Friday, July 13, at
approximately 10:30 p.m., Combined Anti-Drug Task Force (C.A.T. Team) Detective
Cpl. Kevin Hoover conducted a stop on a car traveling eastbound on I-10 near
between Vinton and Sulphur for a traffic violation.
When the driver of the car, Michael D. Boeh, 45, of
Cincinnati, OH, began to act suspiciously during the traffic stop, Cpl. Hoover
asked for permission to search the car and he refused.
After Cpl. Hoover's K-9 "Mako"
alerted to the odor of narcotics coming from the car, a search was conducted
and approximately 20 pounds of marijuana wrapped in cellophane and duct tape,
with an estimated street value of over $40,000, was recovered from a duffle bag
in the trunk of the car.
Boeh was arrested and booked into
the Calcasieu Correctional Center and charged with possession of marijuana with
intent to distribute.
Judge Michael Canaday set his bond
at $100,000.
