Evangeline Parish Sheriff’s deputies have arrested a Ville Platte mail man in a drug case.
Scott Pellerin, 43, was arrested at the Ville Platte post office on Tuesday, deputies say.
We reached out to the U.S. Postal Service, and a spokeswoman told us that “We can confirm this individual is employed with the Postal Service as a city carrier at the Ville Platte Post Office.”
Deputies tell us that on Tuesday, sheriff’s narcotics agents arrested Pellerin on a warrant accusing him of possession with intent to distribute drugs and theft of mail. After they searched him, they added a possession of drugs charge, after they allegedly found suboxone strips.
Deputies say Pellerin was booked into the parish jail.
