Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced narcotics agents arrested eight individuals after finding narcotics at Thibodaux residence. The arrests occurred at a home on Ledet Drive on Thursday.

In all, eight individuals were arrested, including Lirette who was charged with maintaining a structure for narcotics use. Jeremy Frederick, 43, of Arnaudville and Kathryn Gibson, 46, of Breaux Bridge were also arrested for possession of heroin.
