The press release continued as follows: “While officers were patrolling the area, two unknown males were observed riding bicycles, turning onto South Street from 9th Street. Officers observed the males committing traffic violations for bicyclists and were immediately stopped. While on the stop, officers observed one of the males appear to be very nervous and fidgety. Officers then conducted a pat down on these individuals for their safety. During this pat down, one of the males, who was identified as James Navarre, was found to be in possession of over 15 grams of meth. Navarre is currently being held at the Mamou Police Department on a bond of $7,500 for possession with the intent to distribute schedule II narcotics.”
