Five suspects – all below the age of 21 – are in custody of the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office after they allegedly robbed a victim at gunpoint for drugs.

Sheriff Jerry Larpenter said deputies have been investing for three weeks a case involving an armed robbery, which involved several suspects.

On Aug. 16, 2017, deputies and detectives were called to the 100 block of Mary Carmen Street in Houma in reference to the incident.


Upon arrival, deputies made contact with a 21-year-old victim who said that he was robbed at gun point.

The victim said he was sitting inside of a vehicle in his driveway with friends when the suspects approached them with a shotgun and a handgun, demanding money and a watch from the victims.

Authorities said a watch, a small amount of cash and other personal items were stolen during the robbery.


The victim said he knew the suspects by name because he had problems with them before.

No one was injured in the incident.

After further investigation, detectives said they learned that this robbery was associated with illegal narcotics, specifically Xanax.


Authorities said the victim was attempting to sell when he was robbed.

As a result of the investigation, the victim was arrested for conspiracy to distribute Xanax. Three adults and one juvenile were arrested for armed robbery.
