Trio on way to spring break in Florida arrested with drug cache
By Florida parishes bureau
Three young Louisiana men, including students from LSU and
Southeastern Louisiana University, were arrested in possession of
$65,000 or more worth of drugs, Slidell police said Friday.
The three told investigators they were on their way to spring break
in Panama City, Fla., where they planned to sell the drugs to other
college students, police said.
The drugs included about 20,000 pills, including designer drugs, the
date-rape drug and Valium tablets, officers said.
Slidell police identified the LSU student as Joshua Breed, 20, 3330
Willow St., Baton Rouge.
The SLU student is Aaron Christopher Seal, 22, 13362 Decoteau Road,
Gonzales, officers said.
They identified the third man as Dean Berriman Seal, 23, 801 N.
Bundicks, Slidell.
Police Sgt. Rob Callahan said the three were all booked with the
following counts:
Possession of Valium with intent to distribute.
Possession of ecstasy with intent to distribute.
Possession of preceding with intent to distribute.
Possession of flumitrazepam (date-rape drug) with intent to
distribute.
Possession of equipise steroids with intent to distribute.
Possession of stanzolic steroids with intent to distribute.
Possession of nubaine with intent to distribute.
Possession of sustenon steroids with intent to distribute.
Possession of marijauana.
Officers said they responded to a complaint of reckless operation
of a vehicle Thursday night and found a dispute between Aaron
Seal and the driver of another vehicle.
Lt. Lee Dresselhaus said he shone his flashlight inside the vehicle
occupied by the three young men and saw several orange-capped
syringes in a plastic bag on the car’s floorboard.
Sgt. Tim Culotta said Seal told him his driver’s license was in the
car next to the console.
Culotta said that when he entered the car to get the driver’s license,
he also found additional syringes and a small bag of marijuana.
Officers arrested the three and had the vehicle towed to police
headquarters where it was searched.
During that search, Culotta said he found a backpack that held eight
large sandwich bags containing 17,829 Valium tablets.
The backpack also contained 358 pills commonly referred to as
date-rape drug, 93 ecstasy tablets, 92 percodan tablets, several
bottles of steroids, and 10 bottles of the painkiller nubaine.
Officers said the street value of the drugs would have been between
$65,000 and $75,000.
Callahan said Slidell police are continuing the investigation to
determine the source of the drugs.
