Caddo deputies arrested two men after they were caught with drugs and stolen property in Shreveport, said Sheriff Steve Prator.

Just before 6 p.m. on Tuesday, patrol deputies were dispatched to 3410 Dixie Shreveport Road in response to a call about a theft in progress. Upon arrival, Dep. Steven May and Dep. Josh Roppolo found Jason Normand, 42, and James Dupont, 55, with stolen boat parts — including an air compressor, tires, rims, motor brackets, fishing nets and a boat seat — all loaded up in a white pickup truck.

Deputies recovered $1,175 worth of property which were later returned to the owners. During the investigation, deputies found 10.3 grams of meth, 5 ecstasy pills, 15.5 grams of marijuana, and two glass pipes.

Normand and Dupont were arrested and booked into Caddo Correctional Center for felony theft, criminal tresspassing, possession of schedule I and two counts of possession of schedule II.
