BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) – The owner of Cajun Cannabis in Lafayette has been arrested again on drug charges, and this time, two of his employees join him behind bars.

Police also arrested 27-year-old Karlie Laine Lantier on four active warrants of distribution of Schedule I Narcotics and 19-year-old Jordan Folks on one active warrant of distribution of Schedule I Narcotics.
The arrests came after agents executed a search warrant at Cajun Cannabis, which reportedly yielded the following findings:
- Three marijuana plants with an estimated street value of $4,5000
- Approximately 1336.5 grams of marijuana with an estimated street value of $26,730
- 2.6 grams of hash with an estimated street value of $156
- drug paraphernalia
After obtaining a search warrant for the business, police obtained a search warrant for DeYoung’s residence.
