From HPD:

On 6-15-20 shortly after midnight, Houma Police received a call stating a Kenya Patterson-28 yrs. old of Baker Drive was making threats that he was going to shoot-up a residence within the Eastside of Houma. Once receiving the complaint, the caller stated Kenya Patterson had outstanding warrants for his arrest and was driving a dark colored Cadillac. The complainant further informed law enforcement Kenya Patterson was currently at an apartment complex on King Street. 


 

After receiving the information, officers located the vehicle on Main Street heading southbound. Officers conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle near a residence in the Village East subdivision where Kenya Patterson was identified as the driver and a 15-yr. old identified as the passenger.

 

During the stop, officers observed a plastic bag containing a large amount of marijuana. Officers also located marijuana, heroin and pills on the 15-yr. old juvenile. Further search of the vehicle yielded additional marijuana and a duffle bag containing several packages of methamphetamine, heroin, pills and 2 semi-automatic pistols with extended clips.

 

As a result of the investigation, Kenya Patterson and the 15-yr. old juvenile were arrested for several charges relative to narcotics possession with the intent to distribute surrounding methamphetamines, heroin, marijuana, and prescription pills. They were also charged with Possession of a Firearm while in possession of a Dangerous Substance.
