Officers with the Bogalusa Police Department were busy last Wednesday when they were alerted by nearby residents about alleged drug activity at a house in the Terrace neighborhood. They ended up making three arrests on various drug charges and other charges.

According to BPD reports, after getting “many complaints,” patrol officers saw a vehicle they’d never before seen at the residence. When the driver reportedly failed to use his turn signal upon leaving the house, the officers pulled the car over and reportedly smelled marijuana smoke in the vehicle. That prompted a search of the car and its inhabitants.

Drugs were allegedly discovered, and a handgun was reportedly found on the floor of the vehicle, although the inhabitants all reportedly said they had no knowledge of it being there.

Krystal Chapman, 33, was booked with possession with intent to distribute heroin, possession with intent to distribute Schedule IV drugs-Xanax, and possession of a controlled dangerous substance in a drug free zone. Her bond was set at $110,000.

Shun Dwayne Chapman, 36, was booked with possession with intent to distribute heroin, possession with intent to distribute cocaine, possession with intent to distribute Schedule II drugs-Oxycodone, possession of marijuana-first offense, possession of a controlled dangerous substance in a drug free zone, being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, and illegally carrying a firearm with a controlled dangerous substance. His bond was set at $208,000.

Brian J. Chapman, 24, was booked with possession with intent to distribute heroin, possession with intent to distribute cocaine, possession with intent to distribute Schedule II drugs-Oxycodone, turn signal violation, possession of marijuana, driving without his driver’s license, being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, illegally carrying a firearm with a controlled dangerous substance, and possession of a controlled dangerous substance in a drug free zone. His bond was set at $308,500.

All three suspects were later transferred to the Washington Parish Jail. It was not immediately clear what relationship the Chapmans might have.

The BPD compliments the citizens who called with their concerns, and encourages everybody to do the same.
