Caddo-Shreveport narcotics agents thought they were going to arrest a man on a misdemeanor bench warrant on Tuesday, but when they arrived at the suspect’s house their attention quickly turned to several meth labs found on the premises.

Agents arrived at 8386 Crouch Dam Road in north Caddo Parish to arrest Tatum Burroughs for missing his misdemeanor marijuana trial date the day before. Upon arrival they noticed a strong odor coming from behind a shed where they found two active one-pot meth labs.

After further investigation, agents found three additional meth labs, a small amount of methamphetamine, a rifle, and chemicals used to manufacture methamphetamine.

Agents were then led to a neighboring residence at 7750 Jack Todd Road where they discovered more items used to manufacture meth.

The following suspects were arrested:

1)    Richard Burroughs Jr., 45, of 8386 Crouch Dam Road,  on two counts of manufacturing methamphetamine and one count of possession of methamphetamine; and

2)    Jerry Oliver Jr., 42, of 7750 Jack Todd Road, on two counts of manufacturing methamphetamine and one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. 

Both suspects were booked into the Caddo Correctional Center.

Tatum Burroughs, who is the son of Richard Burroughs, was not at the house and will not be charged in connection with the meth labs.
